Dear Louis,
45 years ago you were my Maid of Honor as I married your brother Paul and became a member of the Murphy family.

I always knew if I needed something you would be there for us. I remember all the pizza’s we went for when I was pregnant, with Paul your Godson who you loved so much. I know how much you loved our children how you prayed for Lynn to get better. Now she has her own angel rooting for her in heaven. You loved Charlene and was so happy for her when she married John. You adored all of your nieces and nephews. You were so happy and proud of our 6 grandchildren.

You will be missed but always loved.

Most of all you loved your brother’s and sisters and also their spouses. I will miss you and will never forget all the wonderful things you did!
Love Donna and Paul

Aunt Lu was a kind and gentle soul whom everyone will miss dearly. I will treasure the cards I received from her and the good tidings that awaiting inside. Seeing Lu at any family function always brought a smile to my face. She will be missed.

Words can not express how sad this news has been. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your "Lou". Work will not be the same.

We always looked forward to seeing Lou at Steve and Gina's house, especially at the holidays. She always asked about my girls and extended family, never at a loss for all their names! She never spoke about herself, but only her love for her family and friends. There will be an empty chair come the holidays, that can never be filled. We love and miss you, Lou. Tracy and I send our deepest sympathies to Gina, Steve and the Murphy family.

Words cannot express how much my Aunt Lu is missed and will continue to be missed. My heart aches. She was a woman of class, grace and was always there for everyone. I will miss all of our talks and all of the great advice she gave to me. The world is a better place having had her in it, and people who knew and loved her are blessed.
Will always love you Lu.
