We share a small sliver of your mom's gracious and vibrant life. Pat also sold us our first house in Racine in 1987. We didn't realize then how "famous" she would become but, we're not surprised. Pat raised the bar for all ambassadors of good will.

Kevin, Michael, Tim and Molly, Debbie and I share vivid memories with spending time with the entire Murphy family. You home on South Main and 12th was a beehive of activity on the 4th of July for years and your mom and dad´s hospitality was unequaled anywhere in Racine. Our friendships grew through the years and as life has it we all moved on with our lives and careers. It was always an adventure spending time up at your Boulder Junction home with the Murphy family and helping your grandfather with simple tasks there. The campfires brought everyone together rain or shine, day or night. Your mom and dad did well on raising the young Murphy Clan and your friends were treated as part of the family as well. God Bless you all in your live´s travels and continued successes. Peace to all!
