God has a way of putting certain people in your life that fullfill an unexpected need or to enhance his presence in your life. And in his infinite wisdom he deigns the inevitable in his time. But the gift he gives is his presence that is placed intimately inside us, his people. The ones that were created in his own image. And when it is time to "come home", he brings us to our hevenly home in his kingdom, and commends us for being his "good and faithful servants". Mrs. Laura V. Murdock, you have left me with some wonderful memories in the time I have known you. Your beauty, grace, wit, talent and tenacity for life are out matched by none. I miss you and your friendship and am in awe of the influence you have gifted to me and my daughter. Your legacy continues in this beautiful family that lives on in your name. I will treasure the memories I have of you always.
