Dear “Midge”
Sorry to read of Stan’s passing.I always enjoyed our chats at the grocery store and I was forever grateful when you made the angels for the Gift Shop.
Stephen and Hilda MURPHY
Midge.
It was a shock when you called yesterday to tell me the sad news. Our hearts go out to you and the family. It was always a great time when I had the chance to drop in and see you both. Last going off, when Stan wasn’t getting around much, he still kept his spirit up no matter what he faced. He looked back at his life with pride but was still modest about his accomplishments. Midge, he always mentioned about the great care you gave him and that he thought he would keep you. His sense of humor never faltered. He always spoke highly of his family and the pride he had in their acomplishments.
The Christmas that we had brought our girls over for a visit, will always be a great memory.
Stan will be greatly missed and will forever be in our hearts.
Stephen ( Murf) and Hilda

Dear Midge:
I just finished reading Stanley obituary. I am so sorry for your loss. I know you loved one another deeply and that doesn’t happen very often. At least he is without pain now and I will fondly remember him. He was the highlight of my day when I worked at the Superstore. He always had a kind word and a smile for me. If there is anything that I can do for you do not hesitate to contact me at my email address or 354-4928. Again my most heartfelt sympathy.
Eleanor
