Dear Murray Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Nathan's passing. I remember him as such a bright happy boy in my kindergarten classroom. He had a smile that lit up my classroom and my heart. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of Nate's life, and I feel just as fortunate to have Nathan and your family as a part of my life. God's peace and blessing to you at this difficult time.
