Durkin Family - Our young years were spent at MSW working and playing with your mom and your dad. We could not have been luckier with the friends that we made at MSW, and we counted your parents among our best friends. How fortunate you were being born to such a smart woman. We have missed Mary Jule for years now and are happy to know that she is finally resting in peace. May you find peace too during this Christmas season knowing that she is celebrating it with your dad and Andy. - With our love, Judy and Dick Clark

Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in all the special memories shared with Mary. Phillipians 4:13

My thoughts and prayers to all Mary Jule's family. She was a dear friend from 1st grade to 8th at St. Angela (where she crowned the Blessed Virgin every year), through Siena High School and afterwards. Her brother once wrote about her, "She was born with a smile on her face." Her life was a blessing to all who knew her, and I am happy for her that she is now together with Jack, and with the Lord. Her lovely picture is the person we knew and loved.

My sincere sympathies to the Durkin Family. May God the Hearer of Prayer bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time-Isaiah 65:17

There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someones beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who passed are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:5. You and your family have my deepest condolences.
