REST IN PEACE MY WONDERFUL COMPANION
Murphy Girl
Died Tuesday, June 17, 2008
12:35 a.m.
14 years, 10 months old.
Murphy taught me many things over the years, especially like how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and take it one day at a time. She also taught me how to endure frailty, old age and how to accept the inevitable.
Murphy was very active until one year ago when the frailty of old age set in. She could no longer endure the beach vacations and the long hikes at Indian Beach, Tolavana, etc. She was content to just stay home, go for short rides in the car and get hugs and treats.
The house seems very empty now without her. When I go into the bedroom I almost expect to see her big wonderful brown eyes, aviator ears and that big Irish grin.
She went peacefully into that good night! All that is left are memories and tears.
