Through the years there has been some great people in my life. I have had the great pleasure of knowing Father Murphy. He actually was a big part of my family's life. He ate in our home. He talked to us in a way that made you forget he was a priest and only allow you to see a great man. I am so very proud of his service and the fact that he gave up so much to be in the service of the Lord. I know that I am so blessed as a human to have had him in my life. The Galland family was happy to host Come Lord Jesus and help with church fairs. We were also very happy to have this man as part of our family. I loved away, got married, am raising two boys so I didn't get the word that he passed away. So tonight I will celebrate his life and give thanks for the memories.
