    We were very sad to have learned of the passing of our dear friend, Mary. We unfortunately were unable to attend the funeral as we were in Boston babysitting our grandchildren while their father was having surgery. We will always fondly remember the many pleasant times Mary was able to join our family on various holidays and other family events. May God bless her and may she rest in peace.
    Robert and Julie Murphy
