To The Murphy Family,
Mrs. Murphy was always a kind and warm person. I have fond memories of having Mrs. M. as a Literature teacher in 7th Grade at St. Mary's. I enjoyed talking with her over the years I have seen her, Mrs M. knew how to put a smile on my face. My prayers and thoughts go out to the Murphy Family (Michael was a close friend of mine at St. Mary's). I wish all of you well. Please take care.
PS: Mike, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.

Walter and all...Joanne was a most wonderful person. Never about herself, she gave everyone around her everything she had. Mostly her love and understanding. I'll never forget the many times she welcomed me into her home and fed me dinners when I was a young teacher in Revere, and had a tough commute home.
I love and respect you,
George Murphy

Mrs. Murphy/Joan,
You left this earth before we had a chance to say goodbye...We loved having you and your family as our neighbors and enjoyed your friendship over the years.

I had the pleasure and honor of teaching next door to Walter at Riverside School for a number of years. I was always inspired and motivated, as have been countless number of students, teachers and parents over the years by Walter and Joan's love and dedication to family, community and students. Walter and Joan were a wonderful role model for what family should and can be. I send my deepest condolences and prayers to your family.

Mrs. Murphy was an amazing mother and teacher. I always admired her for her patience and understanding. She loved to have a crowd around and always welcomed me and the rest of her children's friends into her home. We had a lot of good times and made great memories there. She will be missed greatly but I feel lucky to have her watching over me.

Mrs Murphy,
I am having hard time coming up with the right words for this..but the words that pop into my head the most are Thank You! Thank you for always welcoming me into your home and family as if I were part of your family. Thank you for sharing numerous years of laughter with all of us girls. You were special to me as I assume you were to many. You will always be in my thoughts and prays. I love you!

You are a special person! Always thinking of others. Dan and I will never forget the wonderful retreat you sent us on before we were married to Rye Beach. It was the most inspirational weekend. You and Walter will always be in our hearts. Love Kathy & Dan
