Dear Nana, this past Saturday Dad got married. I thought of you all day long. It was a beautiful event, yet just not quite right without you there. Later, durring the reception, Dad and I shared a dance, to a song that meant very much to the both of us because it reminded us of you. We danced to Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I'm telling you this Nana, because I know Dad wished you were there to have that dance with. So for you Nana and for Dad, we danced to this song as if you were there with us. I know you were there Nana, and I know in a very real way you will always be with us. I love you with all of my soul, and I miss you every day. All my love, your Katie

Nana,

It's been a week now since you've been gone, and I think what I miss most is your laugh. Making you laugh was my one of my greatest joys. I miss you like crazy and pray with all my strength that we will meet with you again someday. I think of you daily, and I love you always. You were, and I think will always be, my inspiration of strength, grace and love.

Nana, you will always live with me in my heart and in my thoughts. I will share all of our stories and I'll remind the world as best as I can, of the incredible spirt that you possessed. All my love forever and ever...

To the Murphy Family,

I am sad to hear of the passing of Mrs. Murphy. Lillian was one of the many ladies I looked up to growing up in St. Marks. Both Lillian and your father were close friends of my parents, Lorraine and Jerry O'Neill. We were all blessed to have known them.

Lillian was such a great person and so full of life. I have never met anyone else who was still bowling well into their 80s! She will be missed.
