Herbie and Elizabeth Morley, together once again!!!! What a party it must be, such an awesome team here on this earth. I feel so fortunate to have spent so many years as a part of the many friends and family of Herbie and Elizabeth Morley. There were many happy times and..some sad times along the way. I guess what I will remember more than anything is that love shined through always with the Morleys. They gave such confidence to those they loved and embraced..as for me I am forever grateful and truly thankful for their dear friendship and for always being included as a member of their family.



To Jim and Mark, No parents could ever be more proud of their sons. I will miss your Mom and Dad always and keep the happy memories close at heart.

Love to all,

Marcia Durkin Minor and Family

Jim and Mark...just wanted you to know I was thinking of you guys at this time of the loss of your dad. He sounded like a "Morley", who like you guys had lived life fully. I know you feel his loss deeply, and will miss one of "your most biased "cheerleader's".



Interestingly, your dad is almost exactly the age of my dad who was likewise born in Mass. and is still living pretty vibrantly.



Trusting that God's peace will be sufficient for you both at this terriably tough time.



Your friend,



Larry Entwistle

I will always remember fondly the twinkle in Herb's eye, his telling of stories, his wit and most of all his deep love for his family. He leaves a wonderful legacy in his boys who have inherited his wit and love for friends and family. I am most happy for him that he may now join Elizabeth in everlasting peace. Bless you Herbie!
