Not sure what to say?

As a young man I enjoyed working for the Secretary of the Senate, and during these years I enjoyed observing "Mr. Speaker" the Speaker of the House of Representatives - a giant of Georgia politics. He represents the end of an era, and will be missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of a well-respected Georgia political icon. I didn't know him, but my fondest memory of him is after the pounding of the gavel each year he would run through the House chambers. I will never forget that annual event.

a great man he will be missed

Please note of the scripiture found at Isaiah 33:24,"And no resident will say,"I am sick." So we see the Bible promises a time where there will be no more sickness, in turn no more death. This will all be accomplished by means of God's Kingdom. Please keep your thoughts and memories of him close to your heart as you go through this difficult time. Once more I am so sorry for your loss.

My sincere sympathy and condolences to the Murphy family.
He will forever live on in the hearts of many Georgian's.

He was a blessing to many and a help to all. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy for you during this said time as you deal with the loss of your loved one. I hope you can draw comfort from God’s Word the Bible where we are promised soon “God will wipe out every tear from your eyes and death will be no more” and we also have the hope of the resurrection. Jehovah, the God of comfort, will comfort you during this time of bereavement.

Find comfort in God’s Word during this painful time. Jehovah offers us the resurrection hope of our love ones and soon a Paradise earth where all tears will be wiped away and death will be no more. Draw close to Jehovah in prayer, for he is the Hearer of Prayers.

Sorry for your loss of such a great man. He will be missed on this earth
