Aunt Frances, Julie, Binky and the rest of the Murph family. I am sorry to hear of Uncle B's passing. All of you are a part of some of the best childhood memories for me.We loved it when you would come up to visit at Uncle Grover and Aunt Essie Ree's and we would all gather there.... no dull moments at the Murph's house with all of us kids. He was such a sweet, fun and energetic person, he gave us many jokes and laughs when you all would come to stay. I know it hurts at the moment and I pray that time along with remembering the good times he gave you will help get you through this.Take care and God bless your family.

Mrs Murph and family, with deepest sympathy for your loss. Mr. Murph was a great individual and will be dearly missed by all that knew him. I have the fondest memories as we would have our lunch getaway at Georgi's. It was great sitting across from him and having little discussions about life. May we all have the strength and peace knowing he is with our father in heaven and is anew in body and mind.

Binky, I am so sorry about your Dad's passing. I remember meeting him & your Mom, such sweet, Christian people. I know he is in Heaven with Larry.

I know this has to be very hard for you so soon after losing your son. I wish I could attend the funeral but I can't get off work. Here is a big hug and many prayers that God will see you through.
