Dear Player Family,

The family of Marilyn Murray Waywood was so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Joanne. Our Mom, Marilyn, passed away in January. She and Joanne were dear friends and spent a great deal of time traveling the world together. Joanne was in our prayers as she too struggled with her illness. We hope you find comfort knowing that Joanne is in a better place, free of pain and illness. Our prayers are with you at this very sad time.

On behalf of the Murray family,
