I enjoyed being in class with you throughout the years. You always seemed to carry a smile and would make everyone laugh. You will certainly be missed but now you are at peace and in the Lords presents. With deepest sympathy to your mother- I am praying for you!

We've been through everything, good and bad. It's hard to believe it's all over. There's so many memories, it's hard to remember them. No matter what we did, or what happened to us, you always found the good in the situation. That's what set you apart from everybody else. I've never met a person that was as positive as you were about things that would have devastated or destroyed the rest of us. You truly were one of a kind. It's hard to express in words the impact you've made on not only me, but everybody you ever met. Everything happens for a reason though, so I try and look at the good of the situation like you would have done. I believe that you will continue to affect the lives of everybody that you knew, even in death. There's some things that we can't do in life, that we accomplish in death. You will change peoples lives, as you already have mine.



We're gonna miss you Murph. Rest in peace.

Murph, It is so clear now what kind of impact you made on everyone you knew. We had so many good times and you will always be in my prayers. You've touched my life in so many ways and we will always be friends. There is no one else like the Murph I knew. You were truely a one of a kind. No one could make me laugh the way you could and the memories will never fade. Your memory will last with me a lifetime and we will never forget you. I hope we meet again someday. You had the best personality and a huge heart. I'll miss you alot. Rest in peace buddy.
