Dear Murphy Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your fathers passing, he was an exceptional person. I certainly remember all the conversations that we spoke about H.S. basketball and the White Sox, they were some fun times. I would have been at the service but I was out of town all last week and was unable to change the plans. All the best to all of you during this challenging and emotional time.
Most sincerely and respectfully,
Mark and Fran Crowley

My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Your husband and father was a wonderful man. I remember when I first met him. I started to baby-sit the kids. How great it was when he came home and they were so excited to see him. May you find comfort with all of the wonderful memories. God bless you all!
