For anyone who would still appreciate being able to leave messages, thoughts, memories and words of respect for our father, please know that Annette, Frances & I have purchased an additional year that we all will have the ability to do so. Please, as our father did for so many, leave him/us your stories & memories to keep our dad alive in your hearts and memories. The Murray girls (mom included) truly love and appreciate you all.

Daddy, Today marks 6 months since we had to say goodbye. My heart hurts everyday and I miss you so very much. Mom, Annette, Peggy, and me continue to lean on each other and we are doing our best to figure out how we do life without you. So many times I've wanted to call you to hear your voice, your laugh, or to get the advice only a father can give; but, I'm learning to listen with my heart to hear you guiding me through these difficult times. Your girls miss you and we continue to be #Murraystrong. Love you forever Papa J!

It's Sunday again, Daddy. The day of the week that since August 31st, 2014 marks the days, weeks and now into the months that you have been gone. Mom, Annette, Frances, Uncle Joe and I still cry daily. Maybe not outward tears & sobbing everyday, just little cry's that we feel in a brief moment alone, that pain in our hearts that is an inward cry & more often than not the wet, burning tears falling down our face as our lives continue without you in this place. Just wanted to leave a message to tell you what is being felt since you were taken from us. You would still be proud of your girls as we are still standing #Murraystrong!!! Loving & missing you for eternity!! I love you, Daddy!!

Thinking of everyone during this most difficult time. Loss is always hard for us but sometimes letting go and Johnny having not to suffer anymore is sometimes a comfort to everyone. It is not easy for the people left behind but time does heal and you will get thru it with everyone's help and your loving family. Take care and hope to see you soon.

So sorry for your loss. Although my time around Mr. Murray (aka Poppy) was limited, he always welcomed me into his home and treated me as if I was part of the family, which I believe is indicative of the type of man he was. He was a great man who will be missed.
