Dear Linda, Brian, and Karen, I am so sorry to learn of Aunt Marie‘s death. Hadn’t seen her in many years, but was privileged to have had a long conversation with her a year or so ago when she was in Autumn Lake. She was “all there” like she always was. Informed, smart, and funny. She was a very loving aunt to me, and I will cherish her memory always. Like sneaking me an extra hotdog or cookie during a family gathering at the Watchung villa. First house I ever saw with a working fireplace!! Didn’t realize until reading the obituary that she was a classmate of my father, your Uncle Tom, at BHS. Not surprised at all that you guys ask an act of charity performed in her name. I will do. Please accept my condolences for this beloved lady in my life, and, of course, yours! She was the last leaf of the Murphy family. Dancing slowly in uncle Jimmy’s arms now. He has waited a long time, Aunt Marie.Love and prayers,from your cousin,Tom
