Dear Family,
My prayers and condolences to my dear cousins, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of my dear Aunt Elizabeth. I have so many happy memories of being a part of the Murphy clan. I loved Elizabeth's laugh, her humor, her love for life and for all her family. Her artwork of painted flowers adorn two walls of my home. I treasure them, as I will treasure the memory of her life and the gift of her children. I am so sorry that I can't be there with all of you, but know that I will be lifting all of you up when I attend Mass on Thursday morning in Reisterstown. I'm sure that when Elizabeth got to heaven
she had a grand meeting with Joe, and her kids Patrick, David, and Steven. and then I hope she gets to chat with Catherine, my mom. They used to spends hours on the phone..late at night to share family news when we were kids.
God bless you and comfort you in this time of sorrow. I love you all so much.

With prayers and sympathy,
Cousin Rosemary
