Your diary makes me wonder about so many things, like "do people like Muriel have some inner sense that they don't have as much time as the mortality tables suggest, and does that spur them to leave a legacy such as Muriel's in as short a span of time?"  Or is it simply true that "only the good die young"?

Muriel was very lucky that her partner enabled her to devote herself to improving the lives of others.  Patrons have a necessary and significant contribution to make to the world.  Your love and support of Muriel flowed through her to others, and those others will build on that.
