Stacey and family,

Just heard about your mother's passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. I have great memories of time spent talking with her and her great warmth. She was someone of tremendous faith. It was an honor to offer mass with you all on the occasion of her 80th birthday.

I will offer mass for her repose and for your consolation in this time of loss.

June 21, 2013

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Murphy family. We have lost a great friend and a caring neighbor. We will miss the many conversations that we shared with Jean, on so many topics, including the St. Louis Cardinals! She took a genuine interest in our lives, especially in our daughter Grace. Jean was so strong in her faith that we are certain that she just walked through the gates of Heaven with no questions asked.

Lynn,
Your Mom was one of the first people i met when I moved to Webster(Mac Hardware) in 1977.She was always upbeat,laughing and fun to be around. I watched her taking the dogs for a walk for 8 years and fortunately never ran over her pulling out of my driveway.You are blessed to have such a wonderful woman to call Mom.
Fondly,
Nancy Spehr

I can't believe it! I was so saddened to see this. I am so sorry to hear of this loss, she was a wonderful woman which I know you already know, but I wanted you all to know that I thought so too, and so did my mother. My mother loved your mother! My heart goes out to you all and hope that you can find God's peace in knowing she is with your father again.
Sincerely,
Terry Kennedy
