Our condolences. Sis was a delightful lady with a great sense of humor and a wonderful neighbor. We enjoyed our visits with her and will miss her.

Jim and Sis were great neighbors to the Peterson family on Leavitt for many years. We all took pride in the fact that Judge Murray and Sis were our neighbors. We will never forget the evening ritual that they had of watching Wheel of Fortune on their screened in porch in the summer time while enjoying dinner and a drink. I'm sure my Mom is among many waiting with open arms for Sis in Heaven. Condolences go out to all of the Murray family from Pastor Len Peterson and his family.
