in honor of Murphy.

I had the sincere pleasure of knowing Murph, when she volunteered here at the Westwood Senior Center; personally I adored her. Murphy was always willing to help our senior community with whatever needed to be done; moreover, she made us laugh with her quick wit and her wonderful humor.

My favorite stories came from her life as a florist (we both had great stories about the Chelsea market) and her "shack" in Rhode Island. She spoke of her amazing daughter, son in law and grandchildren ... she loved living and sharing her life with them.

I only had the pleasure of knowing her for two years, but I always felt I knew her in another life. She was charming, smart, witty and beautiful, inside and out.

I will personally miss her but feel blessed to have known her, albeit briefly.

Prayers and Sympathy to the family.

Please accept my condolences - Claire was an exceptional person (brainy!) we were classmates all through school and my mother and her mother were also friends - such a shock to read she's gone. I'm very sorry to hear about it...Alicia Hart

Murph was one of my closest friends through junior high and high school and I have so many amazing memories of our times together. Our biggest adventure was when we were in the 8th or 9th grade. We had saved up our money to see Judy Collins in concert in Boston and have dinner at a fancy Boston restaurant. I remember sitting in the audience at that concert next to Murph, just thrilled to be there. I will miss her energy, creativity, and sense of humor. She made my life richer and was a wonderful buffer through adolescence. I am so grateful for her friendship. She will be deeply missed.
