Dear Kenny and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Carol's passing. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Carol, we are sure that she was a very loving wife to you Kenny and a great mom to Keith and Lauren.
Time will heal your hearts and knowing that she is in a better place with God and all of his other children should help comfort you with each day that passes.
God bless all of you,
Tom and Carol Murphy
