My condolences. The Service on Monday was beautiful. Murray was a long-time colleague and friend at the Department of Justice before his retirement. He often would give me a ride in his Honda del Sol to the Dunn Loring Metro station so that he could get home sooner to his family using the HOV lanes on 66. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My most sincere condolences to the Horwitz family. It has been many years since we met at Conn College, Janet, and the last real visit was when you and Murray were to be married. I was jolted to read of Murray's death in today's paper.
