I have such fond memories of Pat. She was so kind to my parents Herman and Eleanor Sutter and had that special smile that she gave so freely. I know her life had been compromised lately so now she is at peace and left the family wonderful memories to cherish. May you find comfort that she is at “home”with Jim and her Lord. May she Rest In Peace.
Sorry I can’t make the funeral but I’m with you in spirit.
Sincerely, Mary Jo Sutter Seibert

Dearest Murphy family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a beautiful person, inside and out. I thought of her like a second mom and remember all the holidays and trips to Door County that we spent with you and the Johnsons. Bob, Marie, Leroy, Carol, Jim and Pat are together again and the Old Fashioneds are chilling and the card game is on. We are leaving early Wednesday for Toronto and I’m so sorry to miss this celebration of her wonderful life. Our thoughts are with you.
Love,
Joan and Richard Neeno

Pat was such a beautiful lady with a beautiful smile and a great big heart. My mother always said we were blessed to consider her as a close friend. I will miss her visits but will always cherish our friendship. Rest in peace.
