Dear Uncle Morgan, Morgan, Liz, Kate, Steven, Tish & Robert,

I am sooo sorry to hear your sad news. I will miss Auntie Duffy's wonderful smile. Even though I didn't see her much as we grew older, I still have soo many vivid childhood memories at the Murray house. And I will always remember getting her birthday cards year after year until I got married!!! Besides my family, I think she was the only other one who sent me those cards!! She was always sooo genuinely concerned about everything happening in our lives. I know that Auntie Duffy is up there with my mother (her old Kimberly & Wheaton pal) looking down on us and keeping us safe. She has now become our newest angel in heaven. All my thoughts and prayers are with you now. Hold your memories close because they will help you get through this most difficult time.

xoxo, Molly (Cutting) Werner

My deepest sympathy goes out to Morgan and Joan's children. She loved you all very much and always talked about each of you so proudly. What a special lady and she will be missed a great deal.
