My Murdoch is what I called this wonderful soul, I said he was an angel from the very beginning of our friendship. He was a bright spot in my live that will never burn out. He made me laugh, smile, and cry, He tought me the meaning of true friendship, generosity, love,and kindness. He will forever remain in my thoughts and heart. My heart goes out to the family and friends for he will be missed dearly. I just thank God for the memories I have of him.
Since the first day I met Murdoch he made me smile…he always had a silly story to tell, anything to make people laugh…I will always remember his beautiful smile, it was contagious…you will always be in my heart murdoch…and missed by everyone who knew you….
