Lisa Patricia "Tish" Murphy

I woke up thinking of you,Tish, the other day, and shared a memory with some friends,a few who knew you too. You are always dwelling in certain hearts,missed, and loved. I will carry you with me,as I wear the necklace your sister gave me, everyday during spring and summer especially. I love you Tish.

I live far away from Shelburne Falls now, but I am forever connected to that place, and the bridge I first met "Tish', whom I didn't know as Lisa. We became fast friends. I looked forward to our chance meetings, as that was what we had, all around the Bridge Of Flowers, the markets (where I worked), and around town. I arrived in Shelburne Falls the summer of 2006,I moved back to the Philadelphia summer 2011.I would return from time to time. One of those times, Moonstruck was playing at...

What a great loss for you and for all of us who knew Tish. Her wonderful smile, her generous spirit, her warm hugs, the joy of life and gardening that she shared with all of us who were fortunate to have known Tish. My heart goes out to you, her family. May Tish be surrounded by angels, flowers and the peace and love she always brought to all who knew her.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Tish and I worked together to create the "On The Bridge" page on the Bridge of Flowers website and the new garden shed project. Her enthusiasm and generosity of time will stay with me and inspire me. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family during this most difficult time.

To the Murphy family, I am so sorry for the loss of Lisa. Though I hadn't seen her in so so long, I will always remember her from growing up as kids and all the great memories we shared. Life is too short.

My deepest condolences go out to Tish's family. She was a dear, kind person, who loved big and had a lot of insight. Rest in peace, Tish.

A really bright light has gone out. So sad.

I was one of Lisa's three housemates in Northampton after knowing of her at UMass. I love the smile in the photo. That is how I will remember her. My thoughts and prayers and with her family and friends.

To the Family of Tish:
Everyone loved Tish. As a member of the Blossom Brigade on the Bidge of Flowers I will sorely miss her. She was my "go to" person whenever a visitor wanted more information about a plant that I could not provide. She was gracious to me and never failed to tell me how important my volunteering was to the Bridge's beauty.
May Tish rest in peace,
Maureen Flaherty, Charlemont
