We don't know what to say
We don't know what to do
Words just can't convey
The loss we feel for you

Tears have fallen from our eyes
Our hearts, they are in knots
We've raised out fists up to the sky
And we've held each other lots

We don't know what to do
We don't know what to say
Our thoughts and prayers are with you
And will be every day

Our sincere condolences

To Jim Murphy and family,

God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God�s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn�t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Laura-Lee Durant (and family)
