Bill Murray
Many of you already know we lost our precious love of our life, Bill Murray, husband and father, on Sept. 13,2001. He was the most giving, lov- ing person that ever walked this earth.
As sick as he was, we are still having a difficult time with the reality that he is no longer here and not coming home. You see, our family was very close and we did everything together.
With the help from our family and friends and everyone's prayers, it is mak- ing this transition a little easier.
We want to thank all of the families that brought meals, flowers and cards to us. We are truly overwhelmed with the incredible love and sup- port that continues to be ex- tended to us. May God bless all of you.
As Bill was a WWII Navy veteran, we gave him a burial at the VA cemetery in Gustine on Sept. 20. His headstone reads, "Until our Savior's re- turn we will miss you."
We truly believe that prophecy is unveiling itself so rapidly it won't be long before Jesus comes for us on his white horse on a cloud and there will be no more pain or sorrow. And we will all be together again.
We are having a memorial at Kern Christian Church, 14900 Highway 178, Southlake, on Oct. 20 at 11 a.m. Potluck to follow at noon. Please come and share your friendship and memories with us.
Very truly yours in Jesus Christ, Sandy, Terni, Brian and Adam Murray.

Joel Clarence Reed
Joel Clarence Reed en- tered life on May 5,1912, in Jackson County, Alabama. Born to his parents Robert and Lucy, the family worked as sharecroppers in Okla- homa. His father also worked as a machinist's helper who installed track wheels onto trains, with a sideline of moonshining. In 1936, the family moved to Califomia, settling down in Dinuba. While in Dinuba, Joel met the girl next door, Edith Stella Richardson. The two fell in love and later married in 1940. Joel soon was offered a chance to go to work for North American Aviation, which later became Rocketdyne, and he'and his family picked up roots and moved to the Los Angeles area. He proudly served his country during World War II on the home front working as a riveter and finally retired as an electron beam welder for North American, a career that would span a total of 35 years.
-
Throughout the years, Joel and Edith became avid rock hounds. The two trav- eled the country in their camper searching out differ- ent dig sites, unearthing spe- cial rocks, opals, agates, petrified palm, quartzite, and various other semi-precious rocks and gems. The two were even able to visit the Arkansas diamond fields, although they did not find any diamonds. Joel would return home with all of these raw materials and he used them while toiling in the sec- ond love of his life, lapidary work. He would craft all of the rocks and stones into elaborate and sometimes lavish jewelry. Another craft that Joel toyed with was the making of plastic rose carv- ings for use with some of the pendants and jewelry that he so diligently created.
Joel was a good father. He was a strong man, but he had a big heart. His bark was bigger than his bite. He al- ways looked out for his fam- ily. Karen, one of his daugh- ters, always called him an old fart. She even got him a cup and hat that said, "old fart." Not wanting to leave her mom out, she got her a hat too that said, "old fart's wife." The family always had fun. Joel, Edith and the kids always went camping and fishing in the High Sierras, where they encountered many things including the sweet smell of a skunk. Sadly, Joel suffered the big- gest loss of his life when, in 1988, Edith fell ill and passed away. He was a survivor and continued to live on for his family. To Joel, family always came first. He was a good man. He was a good hus- band, father and grandfather. He will be truly missed by all of his loving family and his special friends.
Joel Clarence Reed is sur- vived by his daughter Linda and son-in-law Jack
Donnelly of Wofford Heights; his son, Rex Reed of Pan- orama City; his son and daughter-in-law Rodney and Susan Reed of Mountain Mesa; his daughter and son- in-law Janet and Ralph Hermansen of Mountain Mesa; his son Hugh Reed of · Granada Hills; his daughter and son-in-law Karen and George Greenberg of Las Vegas; and his daughter and son-in-law Elaine and Bob Dunlap of Indiana. Joel is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Ray and Kitty Reed of Fresno; his brother Bert Reed of Mt. Shasta, Calif .; his brother and sister-in-law Winston and Beverly Reed of Fresno; his brother and sister-in-law Ulysseus "Duke" and Tooter Reed of Fresno; his brother and sister-in-law Frank and Pat Reed of Garden Valley; and his sister, Lela Cunningham of Escondido, Calif.

You've traveled a road not many have traveled
And conquered a life not many could bear
You left us in life with our hearts all unraveled
Your memories and love are beyond compare.
We sit and wonder what all was said and done
Did we say what we needed to say, one on one Can you really be gone, is this really the end
No more time to hold our brother, son and friend.
If feels like a dream from which we'll all wake
We'll sit up to see you and know it's all fake We know you are happy
for in heaven you stand
Yet we'll still miss your smile and the touch of your hand
The love in your heart stays with us forever
We'll remember you al- ways and forget you never!
