Dear Murch Family,

I can't believe I stumbled on to this while trying to track down Tim's contact info. My sister Melissa and I were planning on coming through St Louis in October on our way back from picking our dad's ashes up in Evansville. Dad took his own life 50 years ago this summer, and he and my mom were close friends of Algie and Mary Julia, and mom (Fran) stayed close to Elaine and Mitch over the years. We were planning on stopping by mom's old house in Kirkwood,too. Speaking on behalf of my sisters, I know the pain is enormous, but so is God's love. Please let us know if we can help in any way. Our love to the entire Murch Family. Marge, Melissa, Tony and MJ. The Wayne Family.
