Although I never met Elizabeth, from many conversations with Mark, I know that she faced her illness with grace, courage and love. As did both of you.

My deepest sympathy,

Elizabeth Erin Ewing Murphy, such a big name for a little girl. I met you as a 3 year old with a thick head of long hair, big eyes, and huge curiosity. Your parents became our best friends and you were like a niece to me. Memories are flooding in of vacations together, playing Little Mermaid in the pool as we took turns teaching you to swim, going to see Lion King, reading books, playing with Polly Pockets, and watching you choose Christ at your Baptism. But my favorite memories are watching your character grow in my classroom. I was teaching 8 children with special needs and added 4 typically developing children to the group. You were like a mini teacher calling out to the blind girls so they would follow you to the mini kitchen and showing a boy with autism that it was okay when I changed the sand table to dry beans or rice or fall leaves. You read to the deaf girl and tried to learn sign language for her in spite of her cochlear implant. You lifted up the oy using a walker due to Cerebral Palsy as well as the boy who struggled with Muscular Dystrophy. I was not surprised when you chose to be a teacher. Your compassion was always there. I have enjoyed hearing about your projects and contributing to your own classroom. If there are babies in Heaven, I know you are sitting right in the midst of them. Love you. EEE

I was in an axe throwing league with Elizabeth for a few years and she was absolutely so much fun to be around! She was always so kind and enthusiastic, and I know she cared deeply for her students and was an amazing teacher. She will be so missed.

Thinking of all of you with love and prayers at this sad time of loss. Elizabeth was a beautiful soul and spreader of hope; this I know from the wonderful conversations with my dear friend Sheryl.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss, sending love and prayers to Mark and family.

My sweet, sister, I will miss you every moment I think of you! Your smile & laugh will be missed by so many. You were a friend to so many and your light will continue to shine through each of us! I love you so much & I´m so grateful that you are dancing on roads of gold in Heaven! Until we meet again!
