    With sincere prayers and wishes to the Tuohy and Hurley family. I am the widow of Mary’s deceased brother, Charles A. Hurley of Maryland. I met Mary and some of the family before Chuck and I got married in 1995. Chuck loved his siblings very much. I would love to have an e-mail address of a family member, so I can send a picture of his cemetery marker. My email address is hjudith4@aol.com.
