So sorry to hear about Muriel passing away! She is an example for all of us to keep on ragging.
Magnus, please give Martin my sympathies and a hug.

Hi from Winnipeg,

I recall seeing an inspirational film about Muriel Duckworth at a UNIFEM chapter meeting a few years ago here in Winnipeg.

Having heard good things about Raging Grannies from other activists, some of us older women have formed a small group.Our first “appearance” was at a World March for Women event on the steps on the Manitoba Legislature 2005.Recently we have been on the program at a Winnipeg Labour Choir event.

Muriel Duckworth was such a wonderful inspiration to all.
What a privilege to have met her on several occasions.
She was truly a National Treasure in her time, and now a treasured memory.

To all her family and her friends I send my sympathy. We share their loss.
Our best tribute will be to try to follow her spirit, her spark and her vision in working for Peace and Disarmament.

I look forward to the film that Magnus and Martin are making.

Hello Magnus,
A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Muriel Duckwork at the Magogg hospital where she was recuperating from a fractured hip. What impressed me the most was the energy and the alertness in that women’s eyes and heart. Holding her hands was a grace of love..the straight in the grasp of her hands was remarkable. She did sing with us also.What a wonderful journey of courage and strenght during her 100 years of peace-making! Bless her!
Thank you Muriel!

Une lumière vient de s’éteindre, mais une étoile est née dont le rayonnement éclairera toujours les femmes et les hommes de bonne volonté.
Au nom des Mémées Déchaînées et en mon nom, je veux présenter mes condoléances les plus sincères, d’abord à notre ami Martin, dont le coeur doit être bien doux aujourd’hui, ensuite à toi, Magnus qui était son grand ami et enfin à toutes les Raging Grannies, qui viennent de perdre une grande inspiratrice.
De tout coeur, Louise Édith Hébert.
P.S. S’il y a des cérémonies auxquelles nous pourrions assister, S.V.P. nous en faire part.
