Clan Munro members:
Mary Monroe and I have just finished a very sad phone call -- after several months of progressive illness, our founder and ex president died quietly and peacefully at 2:30 AM this morning. He had been my friend, guide and mentor from 1969 and will be sorely missed.
Visitation will be at Halls Funeral Home on Route 7 in Purcellville, VA on Tuesday (tomorrow) from 6 to 8 PM. Funeral services will be conducted there at 2 PM Wednesday. He will be interred at the Ebenezer Church next to Pinkie.
Later suggestions for donations to the church or the clan will be sent by our President.
We will all join in prayers for both Mary and Harrison at this sorrowful time.
Bruce Munro.
