To the Murphy Clan:

My condolences to all of you. I am so very grateful to have had the privilege of knowing Sharon. She blest my life with music, poetry, hilarious brilliance,and deep love. She had a passion for our Lord, and she walked the way of His Passion. I'm so relieved that her suffering is over and He has drawn her to Himself. Now all heaven can celebrate. My blessings to all of you. I will remember you in prayer.

To the Family of Sharon Murphy,

Please accept my condolence. I used to visit her in South Haven after she moved. She and I used to take mini-vacations and go places such as Holland and up to the Michigan dunes. We used to cook good meals together on occasion. I am so saddened to hear of her death.

Dear Maureen, Jeff, Patty Jo, Martha, and Mark,



I was so sorry to hear about Sharon's death. A little laughter and light have left this world, but Heaven is now a better place because of her.



I have many good memories of Sharon from high school -- her sense of humor and easy smile, her generosity of spirit, and her patience with the elderly, her creative writing, and her "A" in Physics (she was very proud of that - deservedly so). But most of all, I remember her singing. How she loved to sing, and how beautifully she sang!



I last saw Sharon on Christmas Day about five years ago. She was sitting across from my mother and me in Mass. We couldn't see her face, but we heard that beautiful voice and remarked on it to ourselves. After Mass, we realized it was Sharon and visited with her for a few minutes. I thought of her this Christmas at Mass and wondered if I would see her there. I am glad that my last memory of Sharon is how she sang, because I know how much she loved to do so. It brought her happiness and peace.



Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your families. You will miss her so much, but listen for the angels and you will hear her sing.



Love,



Carol

We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the Murphy family.

At times, Sharon was a spiritual,creative individual with a true gift for writing. She was also witty and could be a bit eccentric. We respected her for all of these attributes. She spoke fondly of her family and would often reflect on memories she had with her nieces and nephews. We are comforted in knowing that she has been called home to find the peace she so deserves. We will continue to keep your family in our thoughts and prayers and may God grant you peace at this difficult time.

Just wanted to share my condolenscenses to the family. I lived near Sharon for many years at North Shore Condo Club and my children enjoyed her company at the pool during the summer and in frequent conversation. Sharon had a big heart and was always willing to share of herself and her time. May the peace of God help you through these difficult times. I pray that Sharon now may rest from her labors and will be restored in the ressurection.
