John
Paul McMurray - 05/07/72 - 29/08/93
John Paul was serving in Germany with the Royal Engineers, Him and
his friend were passengers in another soldiers car who had offered them
a lift, the German police had stopped the car at 3.30am and warned the
driver about his speed, but at 3.35am he lost control of the car on
a bend and collided with a articulated lorry. All three boys died at
the scene. It was the worst nightmare any mother has to go through,
when you get that knock on your door. It was 16 days later before the
funeral could take place,as it took the army two weeks to bring him
home, that was the longest time of my life, a time of limbo nobody should
have to endure. John Paul was a good caring young man who took a lift
from someone with a reputation for reckless driving, unfortunately people
like that never just take their own lives they always seem to take others
with them. Sadly my son was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and
my other children and I all now need to live our lives with the concequences
of that. \"having to grieve for him for the rest of our lives\"
our lives will never be complete or truly happy again.
