Loretta,
after hearing you talk about your father for just a short time allowed me to see that he was a great man. It is a joy for me to say to you that "we do not sorrow as those who have no hope" and to encourage you to look to that "glorious day" when the reunion takes place. You and the family are in my prayers.

Hi Benecia,
I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your father, but what a blessing it was to have had him in your life for so many years. I know you all will miss him, but I know you are a praying person and that this sorrow will pass in time. I pray that you and your family will find comfort in God's Word, especially in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, where we are told that, "the dead in Christ shall rise first". I pray that we will all be re-united with our love ones who are asleep in Jesus, on that Great Day.

Loretta, Dee, Mrs. Murray, Sophia and the rest of Mr. Murray's wonderful family: you have always spoken so highly of your dad, husband and grandfather. The first I met him, I found him to be a good and gracious man. I know you will miss him tremendously. I always remember Loretta's stories about watching football with her dad and ribbing him about John Lynch and other football players. Remember all the good times and happy memories your family have shared with each other.

Julia Fryer has been my best friend for over 24 years and she has always honored her mother and father, prayed for them and her family and always did her very best for her family. She is truly a Proverbs 31 woman and loves the Lord. I have known Dock Murray through her and know that he has left a great legacy through his family. A living miracle that you should cherish. So many of us,friends and family have been touched by his life. Mr. Murray's life has made an indelible impression in our lives that can never be removed and will live on in our memories.

Dear Family:
On behalf of the Rowe family I would like to extend our deepest sympathy. A life well lived doesn’t need many words and it's obvious that your father, Mr. Dock Murray, lived a good life. His body is absent, but his life continues to speak; I can hear his life saying “live clean, work diligently, and love hard.” His legacy will endure throughout all generations. (Psalm 112:1-2 “Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.”) So many lives are richer and will be richer because of the heritage he leaves to and through his family.
We love you and pray the comfort of God upon you during this difficult time.
Your cousins, the Rowe Family

June 1, 2009
I once lived in Holiday and after moving to Atlanta I was lucky enought to become friedns with Benecia who is one of Dock's daughters. I feel like I knew Dock through the eyes of Benecia which were filled with nothing but admiration, respect and much love for a devoted Dad. I regret I was never able to shake the hand of this wonderful man. He will be forever missed by many.
With heartful sympathy.
