Dear Betsy , Mr. & Mrs. Murray, Gerard, Trisha .....and so many more I have not met but, feel so touched by. I went to school with Jim in elementary - high school. I was at the church service, in my old pew, thinking so fondly of those days. He was the cool , handsome boy that gave a very unassured girl her first really cool album , Beach Boys "Surfin' Safari". I remember him always as so very kind with a sharp wit! I saw that in the words you spoke at his mass. So sad for you, but, oh so joyful because he's in the best place EVER...with our Lord. His love and devotion to all of you, Our lady and Jesus will give you the peace you need to get through this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With sincerely sympathy and love. Mary

Dear Betsy and all of the Murray family,
Our deepest condolences and sympathy to you all with the passing of Jim. Just heard the news over here in Tokyo from Jim McLaughlin. Shocked is putting it mildly. Jim was the best of the best. Always had a smile and a good word to say about everyone. You all know that much better than we do. May Jim have eternal happiness with the Big Guy upstairs. He will be terribly missed by all of us here on Terra Firma. But for being here in Tokyo we would be there in Bighamton to support you all at this most trying of times. Do support each other as Jim would be there for all of you.
You all will be very much in our thoughts and prayers. May Jim have eternal happiness in paradise.
God bless Jim and all of you.
Requiem in pacem.
As Ever

I was so stunned to here of Jim's passing. I'm so sorry. Jim was my manager at MMC and he ALWAYS had so many wonderful stories to tell about his wife, children, and grandchildren. It was very obvious how much he just adored all of you. I knew from his stories how much he loved his family and what a wonderful husband and father he was. Celebrate all of your happy memories with him during the difficult time ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I considered the Murray's my second family growing up, which makes me one of the luckiest girls in the world, being able to see first hand the meaning of true love and a family bond quite unlike one I have ever seen. As the days pass by, and the grieving turns to healing, Mr. Murray will never be truly gone. He will be seen everyday in Betsy's smile, his hard-working and loving children, and his fun spirited Grandchildren. He will never be forgotten.

I remember being terrified the first time I met him, but soon realized I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I didn't know Jim much more than brief visits to his home and small meaningless conversations, but simply knowing the phenomenal family he raised has allowed me to know what a truly great man he was. My deepest sympathies to all of you.
