Grandpa/Great Grandpa Murphy:

Today we will Celebrate your life through the memories that we all shared, and by far you will not be forgotten. We will Miss you dearly but you will forever be in our hearts.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be,
So he wrapped his arms around you;
and whispered "come with me".
You didnt deserve what you went through;
So he gave you rest.
God's Garden must be Beautiful;
He only takes the BEST!.
And when I saw you sleeping
So peacful and free from pain;
I could not wish you back;
to suffer that again.

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!
Jason, Tammy, Tiffanie. Kristi and Jessica Regello

To all the family:
I am truly sorry for the loss that we will celerbrate today but I am glad to know that he is no longer suffering and is in a better place. We can all recall our own precious memories to get us through till the day comes when we are called home to be with him once more for eternity. God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

To Vivian:
I know today is going to be one of the hardest days in your life to go through but I hope you find comfort in knowing that Jason, myself and the girls will be there for anything you ever need. Time will ease the pain but the memories you have will last you a lifetime. We love you so dearly and only hope that you know that we are here for you no matter what. He is in a better place and free from all pain. With deepest sympathy.
Jason, Tammy, Tiffanie, Krist and Jessica Regello.

Uncle Carl,
All I can think about is how happy you are now. To be welcomed not only into your mother's and father's loving arms and those of your beautiful sister and your brothers, but those of your Lord, Jesus! What an awesome wonder you are experiencing and I know some day I will see you there.
I thank you for all the great memories. You always knew how to keep us busy when we came to visit...and we spent a lot of time visiting you, Aunt Ginny and all my cousins and second cousins over the years, especially when we were young. Spending time in your garage, in your backyard garden, going to Lake McClure to visit you guys camping. Your smile and your laugh were always contageous.
My dad's love for you knew no bounds, Uncle Carl. I hope you realized that. I love you and I'll see you when we get there!

To the best dad ever. I'll really miss you and the wonderful times we always had together. All of our fishing trips we use to have together. I love you dad with all of my heart.

Carl was a brother admired and looked up to by all his sisters. What ever he said was the gospel as we saw it. He was not perfect and we had a good many spats, but love won out. He and I had a passion for gardening and many hours we spent describing a new plant to one another. Now he is in the midst of the most beautiful garden in heaven for him to enjoy.

Grandpa,
There are so many memories that I will cherish of you. Like the time you made me pick black eyed peas with you and then spend all night hulling them, my thumbs were so numb. I always considered you more like a father to me, since you were the only one I had for along time. You were an incredible man, I only wish my son had the chance to get to know you. I know he would love you just as much as all of us always will. I will never forget you, I love you and miss you!

Grandpa,
I will never forget all the awesome trips we had in your boat and the warm milk you used to give me when I was a little girl just before bed. Those really stick out the most for me. You were a great grandpa/man and really the only grandpa I've ever had. Your memories will never fade and I will hold you close to my heart forever. My sister will be glad to have her grandpa with her now.
I Love You!
