Dear Jessica, Michael and Laura,

I have such special memories of your mother at Cranberry Specialty Hospital. Her energy was limitless and she completely changed that hospital for the better. She was so kind to me. I think I had a special place in her heart because I reminded her so much of you, Jessica. She introduced us, do you remember? We were alike is so many ways. When I became engaged she threw me this beautiful surprise bridal shower for about 60 people. It was such a wonderful surprise. A special day I will always cherish. She even made me write a speech for her thinking we were going to a meeting to throw me off. She was such a kind, generous woman. I am sorry I lost touch after I had my children.

My deepest sympathies to all of you.

I was very sorry to hear about Judy. Some of my fondest memories of freshman year at Simmons College (Sept. 1955) are living in Dix Hall next door to her. Judy was in many of my classes and I always marveled at the fact that she always seemed to "ace" all the exams with very little effort. Unfortunately, we lost touch. I was interested to read all the wonderful things she did through the years. My thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Michael,
I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your mom. I was scanning the obits to see if my mother-in-law's was printed yet (she died on October 9th), when I found this notice. My deepest condolences to you and your whole family.
Warmly,
Gail Greenblatt (Brown '87)

Dear Jessica, Michael, and Laura,
I am so terribly saddened by the loss of your mother. She was such a wonderful woman, her energy and kindness unbounded. She was also so good to me, as was your Dad. I will truly miss her. I was not able to make the shiva, please let me know if you are gathering Thursday and I will come by. Please stay in touch, it would be good to be able to continue some of the traditions established by your wonderful, warm, caring parents.
With deepest sympathy,
Debi

Dear Jessica, Michael, and Laura, What wonderful memories I have of your mother from the Watertown Health Center. She made the center a hugh success; after she left it went downhill until today there is only pediatrics there. She was such a vivacious and loyal person. She supported my role as a Nurse Practitioner (which was fairly new concept at the time). She was an excellent manager, and had talent for marketing. Remember the Christmas parties? I think all of you entertained us. Your dad was always the bartender. Those parties were great fun. Well, I just wanted to say that I am sorry she is gone and I'm sure you will miss her very much. My condolences to you all. Love Marta (Crosby) Murphy.
