My thoughts and prayers go out to you Sean and all the family. I was very saddened when I heard about Nancy (RIP). I lost Jim on September 4, 2007, which is still hard to believe. Lots of happy memories of days gone by. Love Therese

Tricia, I saw your mom's name and picture and thought how she looked just as I remembered her so many years ago through our time at St. Christina, Queen of Peace & Lewis. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know it is hard as both my mom & dad are gone. Stay close to each other and think of all the good times with her - it helps. Love, Colleen

Maura,
We are so sorry to learn about the passing of your mom. This is certainly a devastating time for Pat, your family, and you. We wish we could attend the services for Mrs. Murrihy, but since we live in Georgia it is not possible for us to come. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your extended family in your time of grief. Since we recently lost my mom, we know exactly how you are feeling and what you are going through now. Lean on God and He will give you strength. We also hope that it will bring you comfort to know that others are thinking of and praying for you and your family. May God bless you and your loved ones.

Love, Linda and Gerry Yandel

Dear Murrihy family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to you at this very difficult time. Over the past sixteen years at BLCC we have had so many many wonderful shared moments with Nancy. She has been a good and loyal friend. I will especially miss my golfing days with her. Dianne Flynn, Theresa Fox, Nancy and myself played golf and did more laughing than golfing. We have shared wonderful family stories over the years. She loved you all so very much. How blessed you have been to have her in your lives. My husband Jase and I send our love and prayers to all of you. A grief shared is a burd divided. All our love, Alice and Jase Cunniff

In todays world, the passing of such a kind soul as Mrs. Murrihy is a loss to all which knew her, as well as those who didn't. For those of us fortunate to know her, we see this same kind and loving spirit having been bestowed upon her family...and this is evidence of having lived a good and fulfilling life.

My condolence and love to all her family.
