Thinking of you today dearest Michael. You are in my thoughts often and today, 22 years ago, I would have thought maybe it would get easier, but with tears in my eyes, today I know, it never gets easier. Missed always, loved forever.

Happy birthday brother, who knows how different our lives would be if you were still here with us on earth. I'm grateful to have you and God watching over us and I hope you hear my prayers every night. I love you and hope to one day finally get to meet you.

Happy 24th Birthday today to our angel Michael Robert in heaven! Forever loved, Never forgotten, and truly missed more than words could ever express!
I will be looking for you in the stars tonight!

TWENTY ONE YEARS MAY HAVE PASSED SINCE YOU LEFT US, BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS PASS YOU WILL NEVER , EVER BE FORGOTTEN OR LOVED ANY LESS!!  YOU WILL ALWAYS BE OUR "SPECIAL ANGEL" MICHAEL, PAPA & NANA ADORE YOU!!!!!!  XXXXXXXXXXXXX

The day you went to be with Jesus was the first day my life forever changed. My life will never be the same again without you. My mornings were waking up to your beautiful smile. My days and nights were filled with your Love, your smiles, your laughter, and your precious hugs and kisses. All the times we got to cuddle together. I never left your side. There's not a day that goes by that I don't long to hold you again. It's hard living without you. I've asked God a million times "why"? I'am lost without you. Everyone around us could see that you needed me to take care of you and all your needs, but couldn't they see how much more I needed you? I thank God everyday for you and all the precious memories I have of you. You taught me so much about life, about Love, faith, hope, patience, and sacrifice. if I had the choice I would do it all over again. Even though my heart is forever broken, I feel a peace within me knowing that I have the promise of seeing you again.Love, Mommy xoxo

It's been 21 years since I held you. There are days when grief overwhelms me and fills my heart with anger. But I have to trust that God is in fact bigger than all of this and believe that there is a reason behind your death. I will endure this life of missing you for a reason. I choose to praise God even on the days I feel life is not fair. You were my gift from God. I was so blessed by God to have had you in my life.
Love,Mommy

After so many years it is still so painfull to even speak your name sometimes, the sadness is unbearable.Life seems so unfair at times.Sometimes we can get so caught up in lifes "issues" that it make it easy to forget what really matters.
I would give my last breathe to hold you in my arms again ,even for only a moment. I love and miss you more than words can describe. You are a true ANGEL .

Happy 23rd Birthday to my precious son whom i miss everyday. For some reason this was a hard day for me. Strange, some birthdays come and go and some just hit me hard. Today was hard. I Miss you so much but i know you are happy, healthy, safe, i know that someday i will see you and it will seem like we were never apart but this is hard. Some days are harder than others. You taught me so much in your two short years. I truly believe you were only meant to be here for two years. I am who i am today because of you, my precious Angel from above who sits on Jesus lap. I take comfort in knowing you are in the best place imaginable. I Love you Michael Robert Murphy Forever and Always Love Mommy

Happy birthday brother hope to one day finally meet you. I miss you and wish you were here. Please keep a watch over me and the family

Yours truly,
         Tyler

Happy Birthday to my beautiful, beautiful nephew Michael Robert. Missed beyond belief today, and every waking moment of my day. Truly an angel. XOXO.

Today is your 23rd birthday! Life goes by SO fast. We grow ,we struggle, we laugh, we cry, we have happy times and sad but no matter how good times may seem there is always a void that can never be filled.We hold on by hoping that someday we will be reunited with you. How our lives can change in an instant. We survive knowing that you are in a better place. I love and miss you so much  Love DAD

Michael, it is so hard to believe you would be 23yrs old today!!! Our wish would be to spend the day w/you!!!! Happy birthday PRECIOUS!! We will always LOVE & MISS you!!!  Nana & Papa xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sharon and I are thinking of the Murphys this day-the remembering, the loving and the grieving. You have brought Michael into all our lives with his beauty.

Sometimes we all get caught up in the day to day struggles in life and we forget what is really IMPORTANT. Its not what we don't have or what we think we want, its is about appreciating the things we DO have and knowing that they can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Look around you and put a price on everything you (think) you own. Most likely the only thing you have of REAL value is your family and hey are PRICELESS. There are some things that are irreplaceable and if they were taken away, your life would NEVER be the same. I miss you EVERYDAY and my life will never be the same.

As your Dad and brother Logan and i sat at the table eating our Easter dinner all i could think was there should be 6 people sitting at this table not 3. It was so very depressing. I miss my boys so much. My children are my life. Why do i have to hurt so bad? All i ever wanted was a family. I can't even have all my sons physically with me. Iam on the verge of tears everyday. After your brother left the table i just cried. Thank God for your daddy. He is and always has been there for me. He and i miss you more everyday. The days just get harder. Someday i will hold you again and on that Blessed day it will feel like we were never apart. Jesus has you now. i cry because i miss you, i miss Ty i miss Tj but you are in Heaven. I am comforted to know that you are in the arms of our Heavenly father where there is pure joy no tears no pain no more sickness you are happy unlike we who are left behind until we reunite. I Love you Michael.xoxo

Happy Easter to the most beautiful & precious angel in heaven!!! We will always miss & love you!!

My little precious Angel, Missing you more and more with each passing day.They tell me you are with me everyday, walking beside me but i dont feel your presence all the times only sometimes and that breaks my heart. i want to be able to feel you EVERYDAY. i would give anything to hold you again to sleep with you and wake to find you next to me. I used to Love waking and watching you sleep. I Love you sweet boy. There is no Love like a mother's.

Michael, you are in our thoughts every day of our lifes! I look at your picture and wish you were here with us!!!! You are SO beautiful!!! We love you precious angel!!! xxxxx nana & papa xxxxxx

You are in our hearts and thoughts every single day of the year. The pain diminished yet the sorrow never seems to ease. Sometimes it is difficult to be grateful for what you have when what was taken was so great. You were truly great in every way. I will always love you         Dad

Michael, as the holiday season approaches you will be in our thoughts and in our hearts! Never, ever to be forgotten!! We will ALWAYS love you!!   Papa & Nana xxxxxx

Life goes on but your memory will forever be with me never to leave. Twenty years later and i am still trying to always keep your memory alive in any way i can. You were here and walked this earth with me but left too soon. I will always and forever remember you. You are just as much a part of my life as the day you left. I will forever miss you. I will never lose the hope and faith that someday we will be together again. On that glorious day we will rejoice and it will be like we were never apart. There are no tears in Heaven, just pure joy. So until that faithful day i will do everything and anything to keep your precious memory alive because that is all i have left of you. I Love you my precious son, Michael. Until we are together again, Love mommy. XOXO

Michael, you are with me every waking moment in my life! You will ALWAYS be missed & NEVER FORGOTTEN!!! Love you so much precious angel. nana del xxxxxxxx

God MUST have chosen you for his mother for his short stay here on earth.I couldnt imagine a better match.He was the MOST beautiful child I had and have ever seen in my life. My prayer would be just to be reuinted with him some day.  He was truley an amazing person and he will NEVER be forgotten

I remember one day following a school bus & becoming so overwhelmed & just praying to god to please just let Michael get on a bus one day! I have to believe god had a greater plan for Michael, no matter how much sorrow he left behind, he is free of an often cruel world here on earth. Forever loved & missed.

Mommy misses you with each passing day. You were my sunshine. There is a hole in my heart that cannot be filled. You will NEVER be forgotten. You are forever missed and eternally Loved always and forever my baby boy.

Michael left us all with broken hearts. He TRULY was a special, beautiful little boy. His beautiful face will be with us Forever! We love & miss you so MUCH!!!  Nana & Papa  XXXXXXXXXXX

i remember michael at his grandmother's house...beautiful little boy....always smiling....
