Bill,
With deepest sympathy. A man loves his wife the most and his mother the longest.
Tom, Sorry for your loss – – heaven’s gain!!
Patricia Murphy was a gracious, respectful and generous soul with little patience for nonsense or pretense.
She laughed easily and enjoyed sharing a cocktail with her friends and family at the end of the day!
Her presence will always be felt by anyone who had the pleasure of watching her face light-up with the telling of a good story and she will not be easily forgotten by those whose lives she enriched!
I’m sure that her husband Arthur and her children are in deep mourning for the loss of their wife and mother, however, Pat will forever be at the center of their thoughts!
Requiem Aeternam……..
We love you Nina
Bill, CC and Family,

My sincere condolences to the Murphy Family. Worked for Tom and with his children in Dorchester. Pat seemed to be the ‘light’ of the Family and everyone loved her. So sorry for your loss.
