Terry, Eileen and the Murphy Family
I returned to work on July 7 after being away and saw Mrs. Murphy's obituary on the court website. Still can't believe she's gone. I will always remember her dressed to the nines. She was classic, always elegant in her suit, pearls, and fur stole. The past year took such a toll on her with your sister's passing. May she rest in peace and be reunited in heaven with your Dad and sister. She was a great lady.

Dear Joe and Family:

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know your mother but she raised one great man I know that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

To the Murphy Clan
Ba and I send our deepest sympathy to all of you. I know that the past months must have been a real burden on Mrs. M. No one should have to see one of their children go before they do. I was just glad that I was able to visit with her last year when I was in Philly. Bill and I had a nice long chat with her and she seemed to enjoy it as she hadn’t seen me for quite a while. It makes you think of family and makes you want to see more of the ones you have. I know that you all loved you mom and grandmother by the way she talked about you all on my visit. Keep the ones you still have close and keep her memory alive for many years. Again my deepest sympathy to you all.
