Dear Larry,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I believe that our parents grew up together in Cambridge. A thousand years ago, we worked at Friendly's together!
With synpathy,

There were a lot of great times on Malcolm Road. Our parents were a fun group and loved to travel together and party together. It is sad that Ruthie is the last of that group and now she is gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Much love, Russ and Beth

To all the Murphy Family and the Strom Family.
Even tho I hadn't seen your mother for years I first knew her in the 1940's and met up with her again after she married your dad in the mid 50's. They were both great people. Diane you were a little girl then.

With Sympathy, Francine FOLEY Sahlas
