Dear Grace and Family,
I found the service today very touching. I hope and pray that you will find peace in time in all of the wonderful memories of Murray. I will miss seeing his wave and his smile on my walks down the road. Doug always enjoyed his conversations with Murray in the past. God be with you now and always.
