Natalie, Tara, Ella and I, along with the entire Murphy family, extend our deepest appreciation for the outpouring of love and support that has sustained us over these difficult few months. We are forever grateful for such kindness and generosity. Paul so wanted a post-Covid memorial service at our church St. Mark/St. Rose of Lima followed by a celebration of life at the Convention Center. He was even planning the menu, which I am sure doesn´t surprise anyone. As plans are able to be made, we will send out the word to pass along, and everyone was is welcome to attend.
