To the Murphy family, I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Through my friendship with Anne, from St. Peter's grammar school, I came to know a wonderful and loving family. Mrs. Murphy taught me a lot with her loving and energetic spirit. I would enjoy just listening to her talk. I remember her always serving tea. In the wintertime she would say, "have some tea, it will warm you up. In the summertime she would say, "have some tea, it will cool you down." I drink tea every day now.
May God Bless.

Dear Michael and Murphy's all, We are so sad to hear of your loss and send all our prayers and sympathy. Stefani called Sheila, Mrs. Mercy, and that is how we all came to think of her in our family. She was a person with a huge capacity to love and nuture and she was a great teacher through example. Her kindness and uplifting spirit will long be remembered and live on in our hearts. When my family thinks of angels, your wife, mom and grandmom will always come to mind. God Bless.
