Have been thinking about the kind of place the Cottage was, and still remains I'm sure.Marlene's legacy is a factor in the overall picture of that local feel a online blogger wrote in a observation of recent.
My thoughts continue to be with all of you at this time.
sincerly,

Love and special memories will keep you in our hearts. And the knowledge of your love and special way will sustain Dick and your family, we pray.

Dear Murray Family, We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious wife and mother. I remember our last trip to Weston and one of the first places we wanted to visit was "Ye Olde Cottage Restaurant" where we were greeted so warmly by Marlene. Your interest in the young people of Weston was evident when you hired our son, Larry, and when you made our son, David, feel so welcome in your home. I know that she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dick
This is such sad news, Anabella and I are so sorry about your loss. We have many happy memories of the both of you at all our national conferences but the one that was the most special was the Italy trip, how well you took care of each other and enjoyed being together. You take care of yourself my friend and don't hesitate to call if you need anything.

Dear Mr Murray, David and Family,
Marlene was not only a friend of my parents, the mother of one of my brother's best friends, but also a wonderful boss when I worked at Ye Ole Cottage 2 in high school making pizzas at night with Butch and Ted. She did every role with endless energy and integrity. Marlene was a great lady and role model for women. I'll keep her and your family in my prayers.

Dick on behalf of the Crowley Kids, (Mark, Marianne, Tim, Joe & me) we extend our warmest thoughts and prayers to you and your family with the passing of Mrs. Murray. Marlene is, and will continue to be an inspiration to us all; her wit, charm and selfless determination to continually serve up a warm welcome and/or a warm meal, taking the chill off a cold New England day, or the frigid embrace of a sometimes cold world. Marlene could melt the hearts of the toughest old Yankee and strengthen the fragile hearts of the youth of Weston. Dick, Dave, Debbie, Mike and Rob thanks for making the Weston the Crowleys knew a great place to grow up and most of all thanks for sharing your wife and Mom, Marlene Murray.
Warmest wishes, in a trying time.
Jack Crowley, Weston '76

"My Aunt Marlene" was an inspiration. She was the hardest working person I know and passed it on to all of us. She has been a constant source of strength to me and to my family through so many hard times. My childhood consists of so many happy memories mostly because she made sure of it. My Dad loved her like no other, they were quite a pair! I have some great memories of working at the Cottage, we had alot of fun there!! Thank you Aunt Marlene for always being there for me, for babysitting for my kids (which they loved!), for calling just to "check-in",for helping my Dad when he needed you, for making us laugh and for always taking such good care of us and bringing all of us together "just because", I felt like I was "home" each and every time I walked through your front door. To Uncle Dick, Dave, Deb, Mike and Rob, you guys know how much I love you! I will miss you forever. Give my Dad a kiss for me! I Love you so much!! Kathy

I have fond memories working for Marlene and Dick when I was in High School at the cottage. Our families grew up spending many times together, especially by their pool and I have great memories of our Holidays together, especially Christmas time. I remember how excited we used to get when it was time for the blue lights to go on the house for the holidays. Our parents were close, and I will never forget Marlene. As young children,we used to play tag in the basement of their house, and I remember Marlene yelling at us from the top of the stairs to stop and that it was time to go to bed. My thoughts are with David, Mike, Debbie and Robert at this time.

Words cannot express the sadness that I felt after hearing about Mrs. Murray. I met her a few times, and each time I saw her I always thought that she was such a great person. I know that she will be truly missed by her family and friends. My thoughts are with you at this time.

From Keith Upham:
On behalf of The Upham family I'd like to send our deepest sympathies to the Murray family. I remember the first time as a kid(one Halloween) being introduced to Mr. & Mrs. Murray, Michael, Debbie and David. From that point forward Mike and I spent countless summers riding our bicycles all over Weston, fishing poles in hand, ending the day with a swim in the pool and great snacks, thanks to Marlene. The Murray house was always welcoming and always something fun to do. When we needed a ride to the movies, Marlene would always accomodate us. As a young adult I always remember being greeted by Marlene with a warm smile when I stopped in for coffee at The Cottage. When Mom and Dad moved out of town, she never stopped asking how they were doing and was always checking in to see "how business was". To Dick, Debbie, David, Michael and Rob...our hearts go out to you all. Weston lost a dear friend, a devoted mother and a loving wife.

To the Murray family, I met your mom when I was 14 yrs old. So I have know her for 46 yrs. I want to tell you that she is one hell of a lady. As I grew older she was able to meet my wife and children also. She embraced them all, with love. Marlene was always a stand out to me. She always gave to others,and the Weston community.She also was quite an inspiration to her family.How proud she was of all of them, Dave, Debbie, Mike and Rob and of course Dick. She fought hard and long just like a warrior. She was the best. God Bless her and her family. Marlene I know you can hear this, your from a Marine family Semper Fi my friend.

Marlene was a very special woman, one of a kind. I have never met a more hard working person in my life, and I really admired her for that. That she took the time out of her busy life to be a friend to me was one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. I am, and will always be grateful for that.
I'm sure Marlene and Butch are having an the best reunion right now...I can picture it!! Rest in peace Marlene...you will be greatly missed.

"Just do your best"
Marlene has been and will continue to be an inspiration to all of us at Oco.
When she joined us (for just a few months) 6 years ago, she added passion, committment and caring that has made Oco what it is today.
She was always available to listen and provide any of us with counsel (personal, financial, technical). Her advice was usually very simple and true... "Just do your best, all you can do is your best."
Personally as a mother, she is my hero. She generously shared her many stories of bringing her children to work with her and she knew the balancing that was required. She also shared the joy and the value of family and hard work, together. She reassured me constantly that everything was going to work out perfectly. Meeting her children (and grandchildren) and seeing the positive impact that each of them makes in our world, I knew she must be right.
And beyond sharing stories, she helped raise my children. While answering phones and greetings visitors, she would frequently read stories and sing to my little ones. To my daughter, Hannah, her name is Maneene.
We are all very sad and feel that there is definitley something missing without her. But we will honor her forever, as long as each of us remembers to "Just do our best."
All of our love...
