Mr. Mulvihill was one of the best people I ever met. And now, he is forever with the other "best" person I ever met...his wife, Lee. They were an inspiration and a refuge to me. I am so sorry for your loss.

To a "Man among men" I am truly saddened. In September 1977 I was marked forever by the simple quip, "Legs? Look more like ham-hocks." Tell your jokes on the mountain. RIP

Please accept my sincere sympathies. May God's holy spirit or active force, equip you with the " power beyond what is normal " to go from one day to the next. ( 2 Corinthians 4 : 7 ) Remember : God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.
