Dear Murphy Family,

I was so saddened today to just be hearing of Danny's passing. Time and distance had seperated us but fond memories of him and our childhood have never been far from my mind. God has called home one of his Angels to be with Him and your mother. May God grant Danny the peace and serenity he so very much deserved. I will be praying for all of you and your tremendous loss and most of all for your brother Danny, my fourth grade love.

Deepest sorrow,

Hey Friends and Family,
I met Danny in highschool through my friend Toad. I have fond memories of eating subway together, playing RISK for marathon hours, and having many laughs. Time and life has moved us away from each other, but I will always have such incredible memories of his laughter, and Danny rollerblading all over Milford. The news makes my heart very sad. I am thinking of you guys. Sincerely -

Bob,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother Danny. Bob you always looked out for him you were Danny's Angel. Danny left us at a very young age and there are know reason's of why. When I lost my sister Jackie she was forty years old.There are no words that anyone can say to make us feel better.Danny is up in heaven now looking down saying: Bob, Im watching over you now, and I want you to be strong,You will get threw this give it some time, Im sorry I had to leave you. Thanks for being my brother and I will alway's remember the good times we shared. Bob, When God called your brother on March 18,2009 God knew he needed another Angel and his name was Danny Patrick Murphy. Danny has earned his wings while he was here with us, now he is free to fly with all the Angels.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
