Derek T. Murphy

We still can clearly envision Derek´s younger days at the fundraiser walks we participated in for MDA at the Crossings. Although it grew hard for him, Derek was determined that he was going to walk the designated route - not ride. Derek exhibited that same strength and determination throughout his young life. It was an example of never giving up that has become a guiding principle in our lives. Derek surely enriched the lives of everyone that he met. We are better human beings for having...

May Derek's soul rest in peace in heaven with the Angels and Saints. My condolences for the whole Family of Derek and especially Br. Jack. Sorry for not being able to attend the Memorial Mass for Derek today at Bethlehem University yet I will pray for him.

It is a blessing knowing Derek from Brother Jack and how he loves him. No wonder, he was really lovable! I like how he envisions his life in heaven...running! More joy there with his presence. Very consoling for his loved ones on earth. Joining you all in thanking the Lord of his life on earth.

Prayerful condolences from the Holy Land-Teresians...

I am sorry for your loss. Although I did not meet Derek, it seems that he was such a lively spirit. I am sure that he is now in heaven. You will all be in my prayers. My deepest condolences to the entire family and to his uncle Br. Jack Curran.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of Derek. I got to meet him at one the golf fundraiser events held by Bill Curran. He was an extremely happy kid. I am glad I got to be a small part of his life. My condolences to the entire family.

Murphy Family, I just learned of Derek´s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers. I know he is in heaven.

Sue Ellen, John and family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Derek. We are very thankful that we got to meet Derek on our trip to America.. We will have a mass said in Headford, Ireland to commemorate Derek´s life. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Love from Tom and Ann Curran and family (Ireland)
