Sending prayers and much love to Murray's family. Murray will be greatly missed by myself, Brooklyn and Narla as we visited Calvary with the St John Therapy Pets programme. Murray always had a kind word, quiet smile and best of all, a gentle pat for Narla. Such a lovely man and we are so very sad to learn of this news. Kind regards Tracy Kilkelly, Brooklyn Folesi and Narla (woof woof)
