It is with much sorrow that we heard of the passing of a dear friend and Lady. Edith and family was one of the first families that I remember as a child while growing up in Ringgold. I still remember the nice visits she and Mary made to our home. Both my wife,Phyllis, and I will miss her very much also remembering the suppers at Hickory Grove Church. May the Lord Bless the family and those who loved her as we did.

Sammy, Fran and Girls, I am so sorry for the loss of Mrs. Murphy. I know your pain all too well. I know it is hard to lose 2 very important family members within such a short period of time. It was almost 15 yrs ago, I lost my grandmother and uncle within 1 week. It is hard to comprehend why. I will be thinking and praying for you all. Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do. Karen Lewis and family
