To my parents: Kevin and Lidia I am sorry that you have to feel this pain. If I could take it away I would (in a heartbeat!). I will truly miss my Nana with all of my heart, but I know now she is truly in peace. I could still hear the family "debates" and the laughter that always followed. Remember the good times because when Nana was around we always had a lot of them. Please take it easy and know that Nana is now happy with your father watching and protecting all of us. I LOVE YOU!!



To my Family: My love and prayers go out to you. Stay strong and know that Nana loved us all as we do her.



To my Nana: "May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of His hand". I love you Nana and I will miss you dearly! See you later. XOXOXOXOXO

I just want to say to everyone in the family that my fondest thoughts of Murne is the way she accepted me into her family 36 years ago when I first met my wife Myra. I was only 19, but she treated me like one of her own. I loved every Christmas seeing her and the family and she will never be forgotten. In return she became part of our family too attending all the important events that families have both good and bad. I will miss her, but she will always be in my heart and the hearts of my family.

I am so sorry that I am unable to visit with you at the services for your Mom. Unfortunately, I have to be downtown on Thursday and won't be back in the suburbs until later in the evening. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. While you go through the grieving process remember to LOOK UP and know that your Mom is now walking streets of gold as a whole person with no more pain and suffering AND she has seen Jesus' face. You have a great reunion to look forward to. In HIS Love, Judy Seifert

I send my love and condolences to the entire Henderson family.



Growing up on Aldine in Chicago would never have been the same without Murn. She was a second mother to me and I will never forget all the wonderful times I had and all the love I received from all the Hendersons.



I will miss your mom and will never ever forgot her.



I love you all.

I have such fond memories of "mom." She accepted me into her family with open arms. Her laughter and easy-going manner were always a comfort. I will miss her.
