Not sure what to say?

God bless, you and your family, you were a great

("HI Mom Murphy") and you would always say "Hi Judy White". I'm really going to miss hearing you say that.All the times Tommy would be on the phone with you and he would say "hang on" and hand me the phone,then you'd say his Brother Danny does the same thing. I'm glad now that he did as it gave us a chance to talk and get aquainted a little more.I will miss our scrabble games and your pasta dinners. I never did win at scrabble, not with Tommy keeping score and you using made-up words from...

I will always remember the time when i was in the hospital with a broken hip and a really bad concussion, when i was surprised by a visit from grandma Murphy and Aunt Coleen. I was very happy to see that they would drive so far to see me. I was very grateful that my grams was there.
I love her very much and will miss her just as much.

Despite the fact that I had only the pleasure of meeting Mary a couple times, but knowing her Daughter Eileen for many years and worked with her for half of that time, I can certainly say that only a GREAT WOMAN could have brought such a warm, loving and caring human being to this world and into my life. I am sure Mary will be missed.

For the Murphy Family:
“May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.”

While never having met you personally, I feel I know you thru the proxy of your daughter Eileen. She is as a result of your compassion a wonderful friend who I have shared many happy times with and respect to the core of my soul.

If St. Peter judges you by your actions then there will be a glorious celebration upon your arrival.

To the family:

May the lord console and sustain you as you reminisce about Mary and fill you with joy.

Mrs Murphy..I had never had the pleasure of meeting you but I did serve with you son Tom many years ago. He accompanied me on many a flight to many a place as my mechanic and after reading your obituuarie I now know why Murf (Tom) was the way he was..he would turn the most boring flight into a bundle of fun and laughs. I dont think I could even desccribe half the antics he pulled as it would not be publishable but I will give it a shot. Unbeknownst to those of us in the cockpit Murf opened...

Mom
I look back in sheer amasement. I truly dont know how you kept your sanity. From fixing us after having been in fights, late night runs to the ERs,always getting us to where we needed to be..you weren't only a juggler but you juggled on a unicycle on a tight-rope with the tire on fire.
And it didnt faze you. Even as your kids grew well into adulthood and had kids and even grand kids of their own, you were still involved in every facet of their (our) daily lives. That, to me, is...

Dear Kathy and the entire Murphy family,
May the love of the Lord be felt in your hearts as you mourn the loss of your dear mother, Mary. It was a blessing in my life to have shared part of Mary's journey with her into her eternal life. May the joy she enriched you all with be of comfort and support to you now as you remember Mary with the love she shared so easily.

In peace,
Cheryl Felix

Well, thats great. Now who the hell am I gonna trade barbs with over political discussions? Mom,I will miss our spirited tête-à-tête that got both of our blood pumpin. The times I was right (mostly),and the times you thought you were right,(always).I will never forget the time I thought I had your number on some topic that I cant recall right now. I was so sure I had you cornered, and you had the last word as always. " Oh be quiet, you said, I am older and smarter then you anyways". I couldnt...
