Don Murray had a "life worth remembering"! He would look back on all his times, good and bad, and thank Jesus for the lessons he was taught, lessons he passed on to family and friends as only he could, never criticizing or lifting himself up as better than anyone else. He was not a perfect man.He was a perfect father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend.He never let anyone down. He admitted his faults and asked for forgiveness. He prayed. Yea, though he walked through the valley of death, he feared no evil, for God was with him as he is now with God. The life worth remembering was his life that he could remember, even through Alzheimer's, and not one he lived for the ones left behind to remember. That was just Pa.
