Not sure what to say?

We have been thinking about Mary Jean (and Max) since reading their joint obituary, and we want to express our sadness to Jean and her brothers and the rest of the family on, now, the loss of her mother after Max's death last year. Mrs. Murray was just a lovely woman with the most radiant smile we can remember. She was gracious and funny. (I,Olivia, personally thought she was about the most sterling example of a mom I had ever met.) We know that nothing can reduce the sting of loss right...

We met Max and Mary Jean in Tryon Park. They walked there every day after they moved near Terwilliger. They always had a smile and it was a pleasure to see them. We cared for both of them very much. Now they are in heaven together and watching over their family, whom they talked about all the time and loved beyond measure. God bless you both, Max and Mary Jean. He's surely glad you're with him.

I knew these two delightful people, Jean and Max, as members of River City Dancers. They were a joy to dance with, and always pitched in with enthusiasm to help when needed. My sincere condolences to the family.
