Dear Kim, John, & Caroline,

Words can not express what Farrell ment to me and how much she will be missed. I truley adored her.



Farrell was a strong, brave person. She would always put a smile on my face when I would see her.



Ever since I met her she was in my prayers and she always be in my prayers.



She is in a much better place now, a place where nothing can hurt her.



Bob Dylan once said "I've been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, "Okay, you've been up on the mountain, now you go down. You're on your own, free. Check in later, but now you're on your own." "



Farrell has now come down from that mountain and is now free. Free to walk around heaven. The feeling to be free in a much better place.



I will always love her, I will love her dearly and I will never forget her. If anyone asks me if I every met a met someone who never gave up, that would be Farrell.



We may be at a sad time in our life at this given moment but, it should be happy. That is the way Farrell would have wanted it to be. Just remember, she is no longer suffering.

Dear Kim, John, & Caroline;



There are no words that can express how deeply Farrell will be missed. Nor, are there enough words to tell you how much you are loved.



We all have learned so much from Farrell; bravery, strength, and the will to fight with every ounce of our being. That little Angel will have a special place in so many hearts, especially...mine!



Farrell is being held so near and dear in God's arms. She is in a much better place now and is peacefully at rest.



As time heals, the sadness and loss you feel now will be replaced with only beautiful and happy memories of your darling daughter.



My heart goes out to the Murray and Battaglia families and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you, each and every day.



All my love,

Your cousin,

Patti

To the Murray Family,



Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during this time. We were very sorry to hear about the loss of Farrell. Our daughter Morgan, was in Farrell's class. We lost a child 8 years ago and know how difficult it is. I keep this prayer card in my wallet. May you find comfort in reading it.



We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, your are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Farrell is now in heaven and Jesus is holding her in His arms. There is joy on her face and her body has been healed.
