My sister and family. John 14:1-3: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may be where I am. Lean on the Lord for comfort and understanding. He is with you and he will never leave you. My sister fought a good fight. It's a blessing she passed in the Lord.
To the family of Sister Julia Murray. Be strong in the the Lord and in the power of his might. Eph 6:10 Rely on God's strength and power rather than your own. Knowing that she fought a good fight, she finished her course, she kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give her at that day, and not to her only, but unto all them that love his appearing. 2 Tim 4: 7-8 Family hold to God's unchanging hand. Your Sis. in Christ Dorothy Jordan
To the Family of Mrs. Julia Laverne Murray, I extend my heartfelt condolences. I would like to remember Mrs. Murray by her kind spirit she exemplified each and every time I was in her presence. To have known her was to love her. Mrs. Murray exemplified the qualities of a Proverb 31 woman, and made her Husband and children proud. These qualities extended outside her family as well, and I was able to witness. She will be missed, I know that she received her healing on the other side. Rest on Mother Murray. Deke Cross - McDade
