Dear Billie, A day or two ago you wrote a few lines about Jeff Murphy. I believe that Jeff touched many of our lives and he certainly did a great deal to further genealogical research online. We will miss him. I corresponded with Jeff for many years, since I was particularly interested in Muhlenberg County KY as was Jeff. Not too long ago I wrote and asked him how he was doing. That is just about the time that things really started looking bad for him. I got a nice personal note back from him at that time, and at the same time he posted a message to several lists informing everyone of the bad situation with his health. Other people responded to him through the lists. Yesterday I got a private message from his widow, Debra, and I wrote back directly to her. She was so grateful to hear from me. She said it is helping her to cope. So, everybody, if you feel as sad as I do about Jeff's death, feel free to write a note to Debra. I think she will appreciate it. Her address is: Debra Murphy [email protected] Jean Rhoads Camas in Long Island
