I will miss Mrs. Moran very much. Mrs. Moran's daughter Andrea and I have been friends for almost 40 years. I remember when I was in elementary school going over to "Andy's" house to play. Mrs. Moran always made me feel right at home. I loved going over to the Moran home. It was a wonderful, loving home, with great snacks!!! I will miss Mrs. Moran's loving smile, quiet laugh, and her sweet, gentle ways. Thank you Mrs. Moran for being in my life. I, and many others, love you and will miss you.
Love,
Marianne (Doyle) Murphy
