Ma Murray, that's how I always knew you and always called you that. I remember all the great memories of Nichols Road, wow, there were so many.

My heartfelt sympathy to the entire "Murray" Family. I have no doubt in my mind that Nana and Grampa Dailey were there to greet you with their arms wide open.

With my deepest sympathy,
Lisa (Dunham) Currier

A family that floods my mind with wonderful memories from my years in North Reading will always be the Murrays. The loss of a mother is like no other and she will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her. My thoughts, prayers and love surround each of you as you go through this very difficult time in your lives. God bless.

"Ma" - I always though of myself as the "8th kid"..and you always treated me that way.......I went to "the house" when I found out - knowing that I could just still "walk in, and be at my 2nd high school home" -and found Peggy and Paula doing what you always did - getting ready for "another birthday party" ...it felt like I was 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, etc,,,and everything that went with it, especially the kitchen and the "table"...and it was dinner as usual- "scetty and hot dogs" - I got to reunite with Peg and then to actually speak to Joe.....it's been years, how old did we get!
I have always admired how you perservered in the face of "everything".....you loved your children sooo much........and you taught me lot through your love........

I love you..............and I am smiling.
