Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I always enjoyed the stories that she told of the family. I would also get cards from her at Christmas telling me about how she was and the family. I have some pictures that you might be interested in if you would like me to share. My Dad was your mom's first cousin on the Morphy side. My best wishes to you all.Lisa

Deirdre I am so sorry I couldn't make it to the service on Friday as I would have liked very much to hear more of the treasured moments you had with your Mom, like the time Nolan felt compelled to share his strawberry dessert with his Great Nana and you captured it on film. The stories you tell of her all point to the great legacy she has left for you, for her family and for all those whose lives have and will be touched by hearing you tell her story. Love and prayers are with you, until you meet again.
