to the whole family, I am very sorry for you loss but at the same time I smile thinking of all the great memories playing for NT and papa Murph on the side lines. He was a great man and I am a better person for having known him. I am sorry we missed the services, we were out of town. God Bless!

Mary Jo and Family,
Although I did not know your father a very long time, I knew him to be a strong and compassionate man who cared for his family. In times when obstacles prevented him from physically protecting his loved ones, his spirit never faltered. Now, he has achieved the ultimate ascendancy and is with each of you always.

Prayer for Murphy Family
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for the Murphy family,
relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
You are in our prayers,

Mary Jo and Family,
I was so sad to hear about your Dad. You always spoke so fondly of him and I know he knew how much you loved him. You have been the angel by his side all these months and you even had some laughs in his final days. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He must have been a great man to raise such a wonderful daughter!
All our love,
Larry, Heidi, Katy, Chelsea, and Will

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Papa Murph. He was one dedicated, loving man. He always put a smile on my face when he was around. Papa Murph had supported the LadyJacks Softball team more than anyone else I know. He had faith in us. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. God Bless.

Papa Murph was a great man. Lots of fond memories having him there on the sidelines, at practice, driving the vans ... he was always there for the Lady Jacks.
Peace and love to the Murphy family.

Murph was a great man with a
generous heart. His legacy endures
in the wonderful family and freinds
he left behind. We were all
priviledged to share him.

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
