Dear Friends of Victoria Murray:
It is also with great sadness that we inform you that our Mother,
Victoria J. Murray, passed away quietly in her sleep on the morning of January 1, 2004. She was 88 years old.
Dad and Mother celebrated 64 years of marriage in October. Dad was hospitalized and lived at the Phoebe Home where he died on December 3. One week later, Mom was transferred to the Phoebe Home. Shortly before her death, she asked "What do I have to do to leave here?" She refused food and water and her meds. At least she didn't suffer physically and now she is back with Dad.

Dad Murray was a wonderful man. He was gentle and kind and had a fine sense of humor. I know he will be missed by his loving family. My deepest sympathy to them all.
