Roxanne Murphy's Passing
For those that hadn't heard yet, Roxanne Murphy passed away from a pulmonary embolism this morning. A friend of her and her husband's has started a fundraiser which offers a bit of info about her family and passing.
I hope that we can be a blessing to this family and donate as you can as Roxanne has been one of our most memorable friends here at AFF. She will be greatly missed.
Memorial-Fundraiser in honor of Roxanne Murphy

Unbelievable! So sad! Will be praying for her family and children. It is always such a shock to hear the passing of someone so young. Will miss her posting on here too.

Re: Roxanne Murphy's Passing
I am traveling and first saw this on FB when I logged in a few minutes ago. I am in shock. Sean had earlier posted a request for urgent prayer from the hospital and I prayed but had no idea it was something like this. My heart aches for her wonderful young children that she loved so much and I know do not understand.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Regarding the fundraiser Roxanne's employer is matching the donations up to $5000 so every dollar you contribute will be doubled. Sean and Roxanne have two young children without a mother now and I know the burden on Sean will be great. Like The Mrs. I hope that the AFF family will express our love and concern in a tangible way by contributing to this family in this terrible situation.

Re: Roxanne Murphy's Passing
I guess this is a reminder to all of us just how precious every breath of life that we have is. The passing of someone with such young children just hurts my heart in a deep way. No one can ever replace a mother. No one. And so I guess it is for her children that I ache the most for, and will be in prayer for. Of course, her husband being left to keep the family together will be incredibly difficult too, and I pray that he has great family support, and friendships to get him through this difficult time.
