Martha Archer LaRoche Murphy

Debbie & family: How quickly five years have gone by but we'll never forget Marty. Carroll and I send our love as we continue to honor her memory. Peace! Rev. Russell N. Gallimore, former pastor of Ripley First United Methodist Church

Dear Cheryl, How sad I am to hear of your Mother's passing. This is three mothers of friends in one week--too many. We are never the same without them, but they live on through us. May her spirit of Love shine through your grief and into her good works in the world.

Cheryl I am so sorry about the loss of your Mom, I lost mine three years ago. It never gets easy. God bless

Thinking of all of you and remembering your precious Mama and the tremendous impact she had in all your lives. God bless you!

Dear Debbie & family: Carroll and I send love and prayers for your comfort. It was a privilege to be Marty's (and your) pastor at Ripley First (1993-98). I always enjoyed being in your presence as we served our Lord together. We'd love to see you and your children. We probably wouldn't know them now! May God's nearness, which we celebrate during this Advent Season, console you.

Rev. Russell N. Gallimore

I am very sorry to hear of Ms. Murphy's passing. I always looked forward to her coming into the office each fall. She sure was a pistol. My condolences and prayers for her family.

Dear Lina - I only knew your mother a short time - playing bridge with her and seeing you with her at Adams Place She was the epitome of a lady - gracious, friendly - intelligent - and humble, tho she had so much to be proud of. I know you will miss her. My sympathy is with you and your family.

One of a kind! Miss Marty loved and enjoyed her family, her church, & the Lord. My favorite memory- listening to her talk about walking on the ocean floor for the 1st time - I can't remember how old she was but I do remember being in awe that she would try such a venture at that age. She was one awesome lady!

Elizabeth, we were sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a grand lady. We now can see where you get your energy and drive. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
