R.I.P Clarissa...


I heard today, that Murphys beloved mascot "Clarissa", has gone on to greener pastures.


She was such a huge part of the community for so many, many years, and she will be truly missed by several generations of Murphys kids and visitors alike...


When my kids were young, we used to make a special point of taking carrots to Clarissa and her companion Cass every time we were in town... and they always seemed so happy to see us, coming over to have their ears rubbed or their backs scratched.


Cass died some years ago, and it was always heartbreaking to see Clarissa "out-standing in her field" and all alone... except for her constant stream of human visitors.


R.I.P. dear friend.
And thanks for the memories...

I heard about this, how sad. That's probably the only thing downtown that hadn't changed. She will be missed. It will seem weird driving past on my way to the property and not seeing her there anymore. That's one thing I knew I could always count on. RIP Clarissa

Definitely the hardest part of having pets isn't it...sounds like she had a good long life with lots of buddy's...
