Dear Chris, Lauren, Marlene, Anne, Katie, Timmy, Aunt Peg and Uncle Joe:

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father, brother and son. There are no words that can adequately offer you comfort and peace during this heartbreaking time.

Chris was a gentle man with a big heart and a broad smile and he will be sorely missed. I am glad that I have so many fond memories of Chris and all of you at family reunions, barbeques and birthday celebrations that remind me of all happy times that I have been able to spend with all of you over the years.

I wish that I could be there in person to give you all a hug, but just know that you will be in my thoughts and of course always in my heart.

Love,

Suzy Clemmer

Dear Murphy Family,

We are brokenhearted for your loss of Chris. He had such a kind and gentle manner about him. His smile was infectious.

I have fond memories of riding on the back of his motorcycle in the farmer's field as a child with Katie and Tim. He gave his time to us for fun when we were little and his teen life was moving quickly forward. He was always up for fun.

May God bless you with peace during this tragic time.
