to the Murphy family,



I am saddened to hear of your loss.

As a former Stamford resident and member of the Springdale men's meeting, I know he greatly affected many people there.

Nick Genovese always spoke very highly of him as did many of his other friends there.



He will be greatly missed.

My prayers are with you all in this time.



SIncerely,

Brian McDonald

Marlene has been one of my closet friends since I moved to New York four years ago. Although I have never met Brian, I have heard Marlene talk about how much he meant to her. And he must of have been a great man and influence on Marlene since I know her to be such a wonderful person.
