I will always remember Mrs. Muise for her beautiful, blue eyes:)The first time I recall seeing Mrs. Muise, I was with my mom, Lillian Simpson, either at the beach (In Riondel) or at the store, not sure. Mom was talking to Mrs. Muise and her eyes totally captivated me. I had never, and to this day, still have not seen a more beautiful blue. While in Cranbrook this past August visiting my dad, Howard Simpson, and celebrating his 90th birthday, my sister, Lois and I had a short, but very sweet visit with Mrs. Muise. Lois asked me if I remember her, and I said, "Oh my God, yes". I took her hand that she had extended to me, into mine, and said, "You have the most beautiful, blue eyes in the world". She smiled, squeezed my hand, and whispered, "Thank you, Jacqui". We didn't stay long with her as she was not feeling well. We chatted to her only a few more minutes, each gave her a peck on her forehead, and told her that we will see her again. She thanked us for our visit. I cannot recall ever seeing Mrs. Muise angry. Frustrated, yes, but never angry. It was so good seeing her again. What a wonderful lady. I know she will be very missed by her family. I send my most heart felt prayers to all of you.
