All Condolences -

To Mr. and Mrs. McMurtrie’s kids: I am so sorry for your loss. It was a blessing to grow up in the same neighborhood of good families and parents who cared very much for their children. It was sad when your Mom moved out of her home, and I think of her, all of you, every time I pass the house. If I had not already had plans out of town, I would have attended your Mom’s funeral service.
