When God made Murph, he made one of a kind. Elaine and his family were so lucky to have him light up their lives. He will be missed but never forgotten and his light will always shine. I would like to share a verse that I hope will bring comfort to all who are grieving.
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry
I am not there.
I did not die.

To Elaine and Murph's family...and to Murph. What a beautiful man. What a beautiful relationship to witness between Elaine and Murph. I know Murph is at peace, I just wish peace and hope to Elaine and all of Murph's family. You will all be together again. Love you Elaine!
