Dear Ellen,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad, Laura let me know. Sending you and your family heartfelt sympathies. May your memories help you through this extremely difficult time. Love, Lyn Murphy
Bobby was a dear friend of both Bob and Barbara (Romano) Crisafi. Bob was a very special person who is cradled in the arms of Jesus from the very instance of his passing. He was truly a God gifted person who never complained about the cross he carried through many years of illness. From Bob, you never heard a negative judgment of his neighbor because he loved his neighbors with a pure heart. I have been blessed to have had several memorable discussions with Bob about our faith…I’m thankful for those discussions. Growing up, Barbara was a close neighbor of Bobby and a classmate in grammar school. To Marie and the Tully children…you have been bestowed with a very special Husband and Father. May God Bless the Tully family..
Marie and family , I am so deeply sorry for your loss of Bob, may you find peace in your memories.
