The Lyons family sends their deepest condolences to the Murcko family. We grew up on Homestead Road with the Murcko and Duffy families. It was a meaningful, safe and fun time to have such close neighbors. She was kind and patient women who cared for all of us. We appreciate her for being such a loving person. May Our Savior Jesus Christ receive her into His loving embrace.
