Alice,
I am so sorry for your loss of Murphy. You did so much for him. I was
heartbroken to read your message and hear that his time had passed. You truly
moved me. I am so glad you gave Murphy a loving home and then were able to let
him go when the time was right. You and your family are in my thoughts and
prayers.
Tanya
