“I hate to have to tell you that our daughter Meaghan passed away peacefully on Saturday (April 13) surrounded by her family. We would like you to know that she loved the blanket you gave her It was on her bed when she died. I took your advice and used Voyage funeral home. They seem very compassionate and professional. We are so grateful with your assistance for accommodations. It means more than you know. Thank you so much.” Judy & Peter Murphy (parents) Meaghan Murphy – April 2019
