Dedication of Murphy Court
Bittersweet
A loss, an honor, bittersweet so true
For the life of a son is ever love to you
Memories of younger days shared in joy
Be it a favored game or a treasured toy
Wife and children so blessed was he
In their souls he shall ever be
A life in dedicated service he did give
A son in honor and love shall ever live.

How very sad - as the mother of a son, I can only relate to the boundless love. This is a loss I hope I never know. My regards to the family, and to you - such a beautiful poem.
Thank you Jen - I look forward to visiting with you as well. Your sentiments are deeply appreciated.
