so many fond memories of playing with the kids whenever I was at my aunt's house down the street. Such a wonderful lady. Will miss her much.

My heart goes out to the entire Murdoch family. I have so many wonderful memories of staying at your house, and having an adventurous time with Jean Phyllis always and without fail made me feel like a cherished and loved member of her Universe.
I´m sending all of you so much love.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

My first memory of my aunt was BEFORE she was married, when she was present in the house of my Murdoch grandparents on Sand Pond Road, Norwood.
I can STILL see her, wearing that maroon/red jacket (her high school color) with that VERY LARGE "1948" emblazoned on the back!

My next memory was at her wedding, on a very windy day that had her veil blowing out at a 90 degree angle! -Bill Fisher

Let it be known to all my Murdoch cousins, that Jane and I have MANY, MANY fond remembrances of Mom/Aunt Phyl . . . as well as Uncle Jim . . . tucked away in our memory!

We share in your loss!

Andrew, we are so sorry for your loss. You took such good care of your mom, and made sure she got to live out her days in her own home. You are a kind and generous soul. Brian and Michele
