The family will receive friends on Saturday February 24th from 9:30 – 10:30am at the Murphy Funeral Home, 1863 Hamilton Ave., Hamilton, NJ 08619. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11am at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 3816 East State St. Ext., Hamilton, NJ 08619. Burial will follow in St. Mary's Byzantine Cemetery #2, Hamilton. Please visit www.murphyfh.com for additional information.
