Goodbye, Tommy
Today 5th October, we said goodbye to one of the founder members of our parish. Tommy Murphy and his wife Maureen are leaving Edinburgh to return to Maureen's native Lancashire. For over forty years Tommy has not only been a parishioner but a very active one and without whom the parish would have have mised a most valued member. Tommy and Maureen were the first couple to be married in St Mary Magdalene's in the sixties with Canon Lawrence Glancy officiating. Since then Tommy has fulfilled a great may roles - council member, passkeeper, fund raiser and has faithfully seen to having the church opened and closed as required. It will be difficult to find someone to undertake the many taske so willingly and faithfully completed by Tommy. While we are sad to lose Tommy and Maureen we are pleased for them that they are looking forward to their new lives in Fleetwood where they will be able to enjoy the company of family members. We hope that they will visit St Mary Magdalene's from time to time and we know that some other parishioners have plans to visit them in their new home so, of course, we will still have news of them. Good luck,Tommy and Maureen! We will miss you.
