I know Paul through writing his autombile insurance. He spoke of Mrs. Murphy often and never a time went by that I didn’t ask about her. I spoke with her on the phone a couple of times. I just spoke w/Paul today and found out that she had passed away and I want to say how sorry I am and that my thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you. May God Bless each of you and keep you safe. Mrs. Murphy is suffering no more and she is now your angel watching down on you.
Lots of Love
