Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceMurtis was my high school classmate at Tipton Street. I will fondly remember Murtis as a sweet and caring friend. My condolences to all of her family and loved ones.
The family of Murtis Mae Hudson wished to extend sincere appreciation and gratitude. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent a floral spray; if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friend could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part. ~The Family~
My sincere condolences to the family.
