Marissa Murrow, a 19-year-old from Mustang, Okla., lived her life guided by love. She made a profound impact in her 19 years on earth. She was a light to many in her life; her friends described her as a ‘ray of sunshine’ with a ‘heart of gold’ and ‘contagious smile’. Music was a part of Marissa’s soul.
