I've been sitting here at a loss for words. I spent the entire day out yesterday instructing kids at our Addieville kids day so I didn't get the message until late last night. I'm glad I didn't.... I can at least reflect on a beautiful day when I think of Murfs passing. It was just the kind of day he would've loved. The one thing I most admired and remember about Murf was the devotion he showed to Lena and the kids. It was such a breath of fresh air to read his posts about Lena. The way he spoke of her always reflected how crazy in love he was with her!!! He learned young in life to really appreciate his family, his friends and Gods gifts. For that his life was full and he knew it!!! My heart really breaks for Lena and his family. Murf's posts were sometimes funny, sometimes windy but he was always very generous about sharing information. He spent hours on the phone with Steve and I helping us with Steve's job search and checking his resume with him. He was very encouraging and full of ideas! His face looks so familiar from all the pictures I've seen but I don't remember ever meeting him in person. I may have at Somerset but most likely it's from all the pictures I've seen of him over the years. We always think we have time to meet our friends and we'll get to it soon. This is a sad reminder to grab the time we can with our close friends and make the time to meet with the friends we make on the VFB that have made a difference in our lives. I have the hardest time removing people from my "contacts" even knowing that they don't have email in Heaven. Knowing Murf.... if at all possible he's fishing today but probably also missing his email. Regards, Deb

Wow ;-( I was sitting here with my daughter on my lap on this Easter morning and almost tossed her on the floor from shock. Lost for words, and full of thoughts and memories flooding in from my contact, in person and in writing, with Murf. Be at peace, my friend.
