For my beautiful niece Tay. If I would have known New Years that that would be my last time seeing you, I would have hugged you longer or told you just how much you meant to me. Holidays will never be the the same. I know that as time passes, the pain will lessen, but what about the shock. I will alaways love you, "Oodie." Love Auntie Nay

My heart is torn apart of the events that has took place the last week. I can only imagine what the family is going through. Tay was a very sweet and special person. She touched my life the same way she touched everyone elses' life. Her smile was the most beatiful smile I have ever seen. Her eyes really drew a person in, and she had a heart of GOLD. My prayers go out to The Murphy Family. Time will ease the pain. Just remember, and this helps me out. We all will see her again.

February 3, 2011

I pray god give you strength during this time of bereavement. Tay was my brother's {Dennis Jones} granddaughter. I never really knew her, but she was family.I will continue to pray for the family. She was an innocent victim and she is in God's hands. In God we trust, Annette Jones Saba

The Lonsdale

February 2, 2011

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Murphy and family words cannot express the pain and hurting that you are feeling. Rest assured that we have a good God Murphy and that he does not make mistakes either. Remember we don't always get the time we want or feel we deserve with loved ones. But time heals all wounds it does not erase the love, the memories or what we have shared it makes us stronger and pulls us closer to GOD. I will be praying for you and your family. Take care and Keep in touch.

Tay was a beautiful, vibrant, and fun loving little girl. Who in turn remained beautiful as she turned into a young lady!! My prayers & thoughts are with the family during this time! May you find comfort during this hurtful time. And may God bring you strength, love, understanding, support and courage! You will be sadly missed Tay and greatly loved by many!! May you run free now with our Lord!
