Read MoreI can't believe it has been 9 years since you left us. I still think of you almost everyday, something I do or see reminds me of you. You had, and continue to have, such a huge impact on my life; I am a better person because I knew you.

Kate signed my 8th grade yearbook in this way: "It has been an honor working with you. Be easy on yourself." It's taken six years, particularly this past school year and summer in Maine, to practice life with ease. I feel more alive than ever because I finally took her words to heart. Ms. Murphy, the pleasure was truly all mine. Honoring you and the work you inspired.

I can't believe tomorrow will be a year since she passed. I've thought about her a lot the past year, seeing her face in others. She has definitely impacted my life in the past and I will continue to carry her memories with me. Tomorrow Ms Murphy, I am getting panera in honor of our favorite lunch spot.

Andy and matt, you were so lucky to have a mom that loved you and cared for you as much as she did. I remember all the times she would mention you giys during class, and that was in one year. I will always remember her laigh and smile. You could always tell that she loved her job, she would watch us while were working and just smile at us. I'll always remember when me and my friend were practicing for the spelling bee, and walking to lunch she would quiz us with tiebreaker question that no...

Very sad to hear about the passing of Mrs. Murphy. It's been a while since I went to Falcon Ridge, but I can still remember the amount of interest she took in my development. My prayers are with her family.

It was such a shock to hear of Ms. Murphy's passing. Some of my fondest memories from FRMS come from my participation in the theatre productions. Ms. Murphy did so much to help us students grow into who we are today. The district has lost a giant inspiration for countless students far too soon. I send my deepest condolences to Matt and his family.
