WE ARE ONE-The Murray's! The legacy that is being left by MY WONDERFUL UNCLE cannot be measured. He has always been a terrific leader, Deacon, Business man, father, husband, uncle and friend. Loved by everyone. Confidant and friend to so many people. He always had a joke and I loved when he sung those childhood songs to me. No one can replace my dear Uncle Ernest. God saw that you were tired and gave you rest. You earned your wings and now you can walk the streets of gold. What a time its gonna be in heaven while yall singing, shouting and eating up some good old links!!! I love you Uncle Ernest and I'll see you again. Your niece, French

I have such fond childhood memories of Mr. Murray. I frequented his store every Sunday afternoon following church services at Jerusalem to purchase those delicious lemon cookies he sold for a penny a piece. If he ever thought I was spending my grandmother's money after a meat purchase, he would also say, "Ms. Zeigler didn't say you could buy those." He was a part of my village that helped to keep me on the straight and narrow. He was a well known icon and sold the best links I have ever eaten. I appreciate the legacy he has left in the city. I will continue to lift up my classmate (Cantrell) and the entire family in prayer as they lay their beloved to rest. Praying for the peace of God over the entire family

To Mrs. Sylvia and family, our prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to you. Mr. Murray will truly be missed. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord; knowing that one day our time will come. We don't know the day nor the hour. The only way to see Mr. Murray again is if we get our house in order. Cherish the memories of your love one. May the Lord give you strength and comfort as you go from day to day.
With our love and prayers,
Evie (Carlton) McPherson, Ashley, Ms. Bea, Bubbles and Paul (Jacqueline) Jenkins.
