Read MoreI met Murphy, and her bestie Lorri, when I was hired to play music at Kelly's in Fremont, several years ago. They were both working there and were so very nice and welcoming to me.
Young, vibrant, artistic and full of wonderful energy and spirit, this is how I will remember Murphy! She is a great soul.
My deepest condolences to her family and all who loved her -- peace and mercy.

I have fond memories of Murphy during her middle school years. She was a talented and bright young lady. Sending thoughts and prayers to her family and friends during this difficult time. May your memories be a blessing.

Mom is taking this so hard as any mother of course would but our mother is battling her life and while caring for Murphy during her last days this all has been so hard for her. Mommy misses her lil Stinkerbell. We all do. Life is strange tho....but I am so grateful you met your baby nephew. Murphy: I enjoyed every second with you as well as caring for you in those last days(makeup, skincare, nails and FRIENDS)...and Kendra and I will rock those safety pin earrings I bought you in your memory ...

I can't imagine going about without thinking there is a stupendously spectacular Murphy out there doing Murphy things (like sick art and singing to Tool - or NIN - or even some pop crap). If it's ok, I'm going to keep on thinking one of the most gorgeous people ever is still being nonchalantly the most amazing person ever until I can handle this.
Didn't see you much in recent years, but when I did, it was like we had been in touch. Thank you for your contagious greatness and...

I struggle to come up with words to sum up just how much I loved Murphy. From the first day I met her she treated me like family. She always said to me at work “karley, has anyone told you how beautiful you are today” and I would always say “has anyone told YOU” this was our relationship. Her heart was bursting with love for others. She would give the shirt off her back to somebody. She cared so much and that was apparent in every interaction she had with someone. I LOVED working with her....

I´ve only known you for a short while, but you´ve definitely made an impression on me. I wish we´d been able to hang out more. Now, I hope you´re at peace, wherever you may be.
