Joe and Fran Murphy invited us years ago to fly to Ireland with them. We did this and met family. The laughter around the dining room table will always be treasured. Joe and Jim are both in heaven now and I am sure are having a good time. Joe and Jim are very missed and loved. Judy Joyce xo

Dearest Fran, Jim and I are so grateful that we met both of you at the Anchorage Tower, Baltimore, Maryland. It was no accident that our dear Joe worked for Medtronic Joe guided Jim and introduced him to Dr. Pat Walsh a cancer expert and Jim is still here after 19 years of time. Jim is a walking miracle because of Joe. xoJudy and Jim
