Helen,our thoughts are with you and your family in your loss of a great father.We always enjoyed talking to both of your parents and commenting on the fact that both your mother and Liz had the same handle, namely " Mary Elizabeth Mc Pherson"
We were so sorry to hear of Murray's passing. Murray was a wonderful man, always ready with a smile and kind words. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Our sincere condolences.
Murray's sly, yet welcoming smile and his soft chuckle will always be a fond memory for us. As Culbert's "from away" we mostly just met with Murray and his family at reunions, however the stories we heard of his generation somehow made us feel closer.
Our sincere condolences to Mary and the Culbert family.
We are so saddened to hear this sad news about Murray's passing. Please accept our deepest condolences. May your treasured memories bring you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
My deepest sympathy to you, Mary and family. I am so sorry that I will not be able to see you, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Murray was the best! Hold on to the best memories!
Mary, Helen, Ian, Paul and families. Sorry to hear of this huge loss to your family and our community. I have learned many things from Murray over the years, being a good citizen one of his most important lessons for us all. Our sincerest condolences and sorry we are not home to visit just yet.
It has been a few years since I have seen Murray, but he always had a warm greeting, a big smile, and a great sense of humor. He was aslo sincerely loved by his neighbour's, friends, and community, one can't have a greater legacy than that.
Our deepest sympathy for your loss. What great neighbours when growing up on the farm, and what great family friends as well. Will miss his sense of humour and knowledge.
