Edith Cannady Porter is my 99 year old mother. She and Vira Todd were sisters and Murray was her nephew. Mother always thought a lot of Murray and the way he cared for his mother. She is sad to learn of his passing. We lost track of Murray after he moved from Garner and could not find where he had moved. Our condolences to the family at this sad time. Edith Cannady Porter and family.
