Not my biological relatives, but they were my parents’ best friends and that’s what I called them. Some of my favorite childhood memories were the weekends at their country home on the lake.  After the husbands died, Muriel and my mom (also Muriel) would go to lunch and the movies every weekend. That could not continue in their 90s, but they still, until ending only a month ago, did not go for a week without speaking. I just returned from delivering the sad news to my mom.  Heartbreaking to hear her repeatedly say, while weeping, “I lost my dear friend.”   But she then told me about all the good times they had and we are grateful for those wonderful memories. You will be greatly missed, Aunt Muriel.  Condolences to all her family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Barbara Silverstein her daughter and Muriel was my aunt who was my dad’s oldest sister. I will always remember the days and sometimes even as long as a week my dad and mom and i went to spend up in their weekend and summer home on a lake in Upstate New York, and whenever i went up there one of my favorite things was to do was to take their row boat out and fish off their dock or go swimming, as well as i always loved bbq on their wrap around porch and relaxing on their rockers and lounge chairs and looking at the wild life with lots of deer. Muriel and her late husband Walter was one of the kindest relatives i can always remember from far back and also her brother Uncle Martin who always made laugh!  Both Uncle Martin, Uncle Walter and Aunt Muriel will always be loved and missed and may they all rest in peace in heaven. Love, Brian Silverstein ❤️❤️❤️

My aunt Muriel, dads older sister,  was my favorite childhood person. She traveled the world and returned with little doll figures for me representing the areas she visited. She was always extremely well dressed, kept her hair stylish and sprayed in a upturned bob. Her nails were always perfectly manicured. Once she treated me and my brothers to fine Italian knit clothes. She married later in life to Uncle Walter who I really liked and learned to love. I loved to visit their lake home in upstate NY. Distance separated us and it was hard to reconnect, the busyness of our lives kept getting in the way.  Aunt Muriel, you will always be remembered and kept close in my heart. I will always admire and love you ❤️
