Murphy family at times it can be difficult to put into words when we need help. God's Word assures us that God hear your call for help even if you can't put your feelings into words. ( Romans 8: 26,27) I would like to extend my deepest condolences at this time.

Leroy Murphy your service here on Earth is now completed, its time to allow others to take on that task.
We thank you for the service you have provided.
You may be gone, but not forgotten.
We here on Earth may have lost an EMS/Firefighter, but Heaven gained an EMS/Firefighter guardian angel with a heart to service.
May The Great Spirit Welcome You With Open Arms
Until we meet again one day.

To the family of Lt. Leroy Murphy, I hadn't been in contact with Leroy in a very long time but knew him during his time of service in law enforcement. Always a very nice man and dedicated public servant. May God wrap His loving arms around all of you and give you peace during this time. Leroy, you've worked hard and now have answered your final call. Rest well, my brother.
