“We have learned of the Murphy-Curtin family’s pain and loss,” the email said. “We have lost a beautiful friend in Brigid and know that her mom, Jane, was hurt as well…Tim is also suffering. Prayer is important at this time. Our prayers are Christ’s light in the darkness for this family. Our love and kindness may help this family and our parish family. It will be good if we come together at this time of sadness. None of us are alone in this. We need one another.”
