First of all I want to thank everyone for the tremendous outpouring of love to the Murphy family at this time. Rob has been quite overwhelmed with the love that has been poured out on their family. He promised to read all the comments and tributes as soon as he is able. At the moment they are just so wonderful it is hard to read them through the tears!
Secondly I thought I'd draw your attention to the fact that Chrissy was actually named 'Blogger of the week' at the 'Company porch' for HSB! You can go here to read the post and all the links to Chrissy's blog and various fun and wonderful posts she wrote over the years. Be sure to have a hanky handy, especially when you get to the letter she wrote to Deiniol.  What a wonderful gift for him to have all these wonderful things his mother wrote to treasure forever!
Thirdly I wanted to let you all know the arrangements for the funeral. Rob wrote me this following in an email, so I'll copy and paste it here.
Hello Folks,,

Obviously, I realise that many of Chrissy's blogland friends live on the other side of the world and can't possibly make it. But I thought I'd post this for everyone so that we can all be praying for the family during this difficult day.
You will notice that they have asked for no flowers except from the family. If anyone wanted to do anything to pay a tribute to Mamasmurf she asked that it be a donation to 'Christie's hospital'. By the way, that is actually the name of the hospital and it is the main cancer research hospital in the north west of England. Here is a link to their donation page for anyone who is interested. I know the family would appreciate any gifts given in memory of Chrissy.
Please feel free to continue to leave comments both here and on Mamasmurf's page, we will soon be compiling them together into a word document for Rob and Deiniol to be able to refer back to over the years. Thank you for those who have helped to spread the word, and most of all to all of those who have been storming Heaven's gates for this dear family. They are certainly feeling the prayers of the God's people carrying them through at the moment.
Rob has said that he couldn't possibly manage to contact everyone individually to say thank you or it would become a full time job! He will however, when he is feeling strong enough, try to post a thank you on Chrissy's blog and say his own words to all Chrissy's many bloggy friends. So you might want to keep your eye on Chrissy's blog in the coming weeks. |
