How can this world exist without you,Jack. What a friend you have been to all over the years. Know you we're the best of fathers and the best husband. Your family will continue to light up this world with all the Murphyisms you have taught them. I love you. I shall miss my phone ringing late at night down here in South Carolina. Jeanne

What a journey Jack and Mary's life has been. There were never two people that shared and gave so much to so many people. When I spoke with Jack last Saturday he told me so many things, because he always told me he did not talk tha much. He was talking a lot that day to express his love. He told me how strong Mary was....and I laughed. I said us women have learned to make you men think we are weak so you feel good taking care of us. Farewell to my kind generous brother who had the biggest heart ever. He will be missed by many. Thank God he was in my life.
