Memories and Condolences
for Myra Murphy
November 22, 2011
I was asked by FloAnn Miller Taylor, Darlene Miller Parnell to express our feelings knowing such a fine lady, and relative. We remember Myra being so
close and growing up with our dear Aunt Margie. Both showed their love and
affection for all of their family and friends. As children we all learn from our elders . What they shower on us helps make our lives much richer and teaches us how to be responsible and loving. Myra can only be remembered
as a lady that was soft spoken, gentle in all her ways and most loving. She was a great roll model. Lover of life, God, family and friends. Myra, you are now in your final resting place. You have left your family here only to be surrounded by your love ones that departed this life before you. We know Phillip and Vera are planning a big party for you. Myra , you have left Darlene, Flo and I with the most cherished of memories. Thank you for being who you were !!
Floann Miller Taylor, Darlene Miller Parnell & Bonnie Miller Decossas.

Myra was a very dear friend. We graduated together from Sophie Wright where we were taught to be "a lady" Myra was a perfect example of what was expected of us. I will forever visualize her with her hat on. Goodbye, my friend.

Aunt Myra, You have been a model of such grace and love. Always having the right words to say and the timing to match. Lifting us up when we are low. Encouraging us to follow our dreams and use our gifts as we may. How wonderful it has been to have you as my God Mother. I'll always treasure your guidance and love as you have helped shape me and many within our extended family. May the warm embrace of light and love enfold you always just as you remain in our hearts and minds.

Aunt Myra, you were a true Southern Lady in every wonderful aspect. You were the modicum of intelligence, culture and grace. The world will be a sad place without you in it. Your recent note to me relative to my book "The Dying Man" will always be a treasure to me. I knew that if anyone "got it" it would be you. You will be sorely missed sweet lady. May God hold you in His arms, and in restful peace.
