My love. I cannot believe it has been 8 years since you have been gone. I still see your smile, feel your touch and hear your voice when my loneliness overwhelms me. I remember how you would raise that one eyebrow to make me smile. No matter how many years go by, from the first time you ever took my hand you took my heart. I will love you forever. Joycelyn

Today was challenging, this day always is, but then I think of all the joy you brought into my life and everything we shared together and I can smile. The years may be passing away but my love for you never will. You are always just a thought away and always in my heart, my forever love. Joycelyn

I can't believe it's been six years since you've been gone, when you are so fresh in my mind and in my heart. Tears still come and loneliness is ever present. The peace you sought, God's love and grace, you are now living in that beautiful place. Always my love. Joycelyn

Today I was reading some of the last messages you sent me, one stood out. you said I am ok will be going home soon. Maybe "home" to you meant your heavenly home. I still miss you so much. I think not only of all the years we had together, but of all the years we lost, years filled with so much pain. I feel we were destined to find each other again and once again share the love we had . I still have moments of sadness, but I try to fill them with the joy we shared and there were so many. Know that you are always in my heart and that you were and always will be my forever love. Rest well my love.

It's been four years today, since our last goodbye, and it has not gotten any easier to be without you. I continue to wait for that day when all my pain will be gone, I don't think it will ever come. My one and only forever love, always sleeping in my dreams and always in my heart. I love you, Joycelyn

The years are passing, but my memories of you are only getting stronger. Your touch, your smile are still as real to me now as if it were just yesterday. Words could never fully express how much I miss you. Rest well in the arms of the angels my beloved. Joycelyn

March 31, a day that will forever be the saddest day of my life. I remember as if it were yesterday, lying beside you holding you as you took your last breath and feeling your last heartbeat. I remember how we spent the last year of your life, talking about all the "firsts" we had shared together over so many years, now I'm left alone to remember all the "lasts". I thought after 3 years it would get better for me, but it hasn't. Everyday when I awake and touch the opal and gold butterfly necklace you gave me, my heart breaks all over again. I listen to the songs you played for me, wishing for more. I read and reread the last texts you sent waiting for others. My love, my one and only true love ,you will always be in what's left of my heart. I love you, rest well rest well my love.

Today we would have celebrated your birthday, maybe going somewhere exotic, maybe just having a quiet dinner. Whatever we would have been together and happy. It's been 2 years 6 months and 1 day since you've been gone and the pain of losing you has not lessened. I can only exist because I know you are resting in the arms of Jesus with no more pain and suffering. My thoughts of you will never end, as my love for you will be eternal. Rest well my love.

Lee Murphy when I arrived in Atlanta from New York in 1987 MARTA was my first job and you was my first supervisor. You showed me nothing but love and respect. We went to lunch everyday laughed talked and even cried together. After I left MARTA ten years later we lost contact.. Yesterday the Holy Spirit just told me to look you up and reach out to you to catch up. To my surprise I learned you are now in Heaven for over two years. I am in utter shock and mad at myself for not reaching out sooner. I will always remember your smile your laughter and the way you always treated me With respect and honor.. To your family Lee Murphy was one of a kind. My deepest and sincere condolences to you. He is now an real angle like he was on earth. Gone but never forgotten.
Continue to sleep in peace my dear friend.

Lee-Lee, as if it were just yesterday, I still remember the day I was assigned to work on a procurement project for you; you were so handsome, distinguished, pleasant, and professional. From that first meeting, we found ourselves going to lunch regularly, we discussed everything - life, love, marriage, divorce, real estate, children, red velvet cake, childhood memories, work, work-life balance, health, etc. After leaving MARTA in 2010, I thought of you often, and today I decided to reach out to you to re-connect and perhaps do lunch soon, and I came upon this obituary notice. This was the furthest thing from my mind, so here I sit in utter shock, numb with sadness. Lee-Lee, thank you for your kindness, tender care, and guidance. I will always cherish our time together, and friendship. I miss you, even more now. Rest in peace, my special friend.

I will miss the smile on his face and the smell of Polo Sports and all the memories we shared. He was more than the best. He was a giant of a man, he was "my diamond in the ruff". I don't know what I'm going to do without him, he was one of a kind. That smile on his face in the old Cowboy's stadium was worth a million. I can't stop crying, but I know he is in a better place and not suffering anymore. Damani and Leandria, your father loved you both. He was worried about leaving you all. Rest in peace my sweet prince.

To the family and friends of Mr. Lee Murphy:
He was always very pleasant with a twinkle in his eye hinting at a timelessly youthful sense of humor. I did not work closely with him at MARTA, but knew him well enough to say hello and to exchange a few casual comments here and there. I am genuinely sorry to hear of his passing and offer my sympathy for your immense loss.
