To the daughters of Mrs. Murray, I meet your mother some years ago when I worked at the screen shop across the street from her house. We became friends. Atfer Mr. Murray got to a point when she could not leave him alone, I would come over to sit with him while she went out for a while. When she had her birthday cookout my husband cooked the meat for her. Some times I would see her in stores or in BINGO and we would talk. Pearl, you me and my husband have something in common we were all born on Dec 7. I will miss Mrs Murray. Her yard, and all the time be spent talking about our family's and her homelife in Boman. Our Lord will gave you all the strength you need during this time. We will keep your family in our prayer from this day on.

To the family of the late JULIA MURRAY:

"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage,
and He will strengthrn thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord. PSALM 27:14

Our families shared friendly ties for
many years. I was a Candy Stiper at McClenon Banks where Miss Julia was on the Nursing Staff and worked with the program. Two of my sisters shared in one of her favorite past times, playing Pokeno. We shared the same Barber and Hair Salon, met at common social functions, and many other activities that Miss Julia enjoyed. We
have lost a sweet, gentle, caring, civic minded, and lovable person. That is what she meant to us. We know that your loss is much greater, the hurt-deeper.

To the entire family, we extend our most heartfelt sympathy. May His love and mercy surround and sustain you. May your grief, and sadness lessen with the dawnning of each new day.

To Gloria, Pearl, Butch and the Grandchildren: Mrs. Julie B, as I called her, will be greatly missed. Oh, what a beautiful photograph that is of her - the way I intend to remember her. Her sense of humor was the greatest, her friendship was the warmest, and I will remember eating her great cooking at her house.

Death is but a paradox; for it is the portal through which we enter Eternal, Infinite, changeless and unchanging Life on another realm. God is Life, and just as God could never cease to be, neither could she, or any of us, for that matter. The paradoxical tool called "death" simply releases the Life Force from the body that has begun to not serve us well; therefore, it is a gift, because we live whether we remain in the Vehicle for our Spirit-Soul called our body, or whether we make the separation. According to Genesis 1:26, in the Allegories of Genesis, we were created in God's image-likeness, therefore, since God is Spirit, we are Spirit.

I bless Mrs. Julie B. as her soul unfolds on her journey into the land of another opportunity; for after this Life, there is only more Life.

"Though her soul may set in darkness, it will rise in Perfect Light, she loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night. I bid her a Good-Night/Morning; beyond the sunset is a bright and glorious sunrise.

To all of you. I worked with Julia for many years at Charleston County Hospital. She was always so happy and full of fun! I used to tell her that no matter what, if I ever was admitted to a hospital she had to come and give me a bath and a backrub. She was so great with our patients, a truly caring nurse. I am happy that I was able to know Julia. I send you all my love and deepest sympathy and pray God's special comforting blessings on you all at this time of great sadness."Eternal rest grant Julia, Oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her." With my love and sympathy,Ruth Padgett RN

I have great memories growing up in the house with Tiffany and Thad. I will Ms. Murray greatly and the fond memories I have of her. She will be greatly missed. I will miss that beautiful smile she always had. Remember the good time she use to say to me Kim come sit by me in church. So family take the good times, laughter and heart felt talks that she had with each one of us and say that was Ms. Murray.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

March 2, 2010

To the family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Ms. Murray will ge greatly missed, but forever in our memories.

God Bless you,
Sheila, David, Tiffany, and Mindy Rudd
