Denise and I have been close friends since 6th grade and I have many memories of visits to her home when we were kids and a couple of times when we were both in town through the years. Mr. Murphy has always been so pleasant to be around. It has been an honor and a blessing to know him for most of my life. He will be forever remembered as the kind and caring man that I knew. May he rest in peace. I am keepingyou all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Denise. I'm here for you always.
