I want to express my deepest sympathy on Mr. Murphy's passing. I am the current director of the Samaritans of Merrimack Valley and although I never had the honor of meeting Michael, I've heard such wonderful things about him. Both Peg Serley, our founder, and other volunteers have told me stories about him and I can only say that I wish I had known him. He certainly was a very special man. Debbie Helms-Samaritans
Dear Ellen, Please accept our sincere sympathy to you and your whole family on the loss of your brother Michael. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all. Bill & Helen MacDonald
Uncle Mike, you will be missed by many people...and they all remember you very fondly. Clearly, you made a difference in the lives of many. God bless you.....george
Dear Uncle Mike To say that we will all miss you doesn't quite cover it ... YOU were always there when we needed you most, and that in in of itself, was a tall order for ?all your clan" You always found time to be with us individually which made us all feel special. I will always cherish those weekly trips to Hampton Beach Reservation in the summertime. Every Wednesday, you'd pickup me, Chrissie and Danny and off we'd go to have fun in the sun, enjoy the waves and eat hotdogs. My tribute is to our "Santa Claus" collectively: nieces/nephews (and grand-nieces/grand-nephews)! You will be missed and will never be forgotten. I love you Uncle Mike! Love ~ your niece Jo (aka: Dodi)
