To Laurel and her Family.  We are so sorry for the loss of your dear grandmother.   As the obituary points out, she seems to have lived a very full, meaningful, and rewarding life.  I know she will be missed dearly by her extended family, however you will have many joyous and happy memories of a life well-lived to remember her by.

All our love to you Laurel, your mum, dad, brother and sister and the rest of the family. 

The Fry Family

My sympathy and prayers to the Murphy family on the loss of your sweet mom, Claire. I will remember her kindness, always ready smile and the treasured friendship she and your dad shared with our parents. May you find comfort as you celebrate her life and your loving memories.

Dear family and friends of Claire,

Yes she managed her whole life "with grace and love".  I am thinking of you as you prepare for Mass to celebrate her living among us and now in eternal peace.

love and prayers,
Joan

Our thoughts are with the family at this time. Your Mom was a lovely lady, kind, gentle ,always with a smile .  Accept our condolences, Robin &Marlene Falconer

Oh Claire, how is it you are 96? But my father, Paul Boudreau would be 102 in July and Mother, Joan, would have been 92 in April past. 
You were married to Larry, the brother of my father's brother-in-law. Paul had married my Aunt Pauline. The Murphys became a huge part of our life in many ways and we were granted the privilege of calling you Aunt Clarie and Uncle Larry and even privileged to call The Monseigneurs Father Gerald and Father Richard. 
I am in the old house just now and can still see Father Richard and Father Gerald popping in for prayers and libation when my Grandfather was waked here at home in 1967. They often dropped in for libation simply when in the neighbourhood.  :)

I have many, many fond memories of "The Murphys" of course still having one living Murphy first cousin, John. Barbara died in 2021.

People say I was so young when Uncle Paul died and I was only 6 but they stayed with us until the end and stories kept him alive in our memories. Sometimes a good memory is a blessing and sometimes a curse. In this case, it is a blessing.

I send my deepest condolences to your family and friends who will miss you deeply. 
Somehow with all the deaths in my immediate family since we gathered in 2015 for Barabara's husband Nelson Julian's funeral, I missed that Larry had died. I apologize to all for being so late but I truly wish to send my deepest condolences to all family and friends on the passing of Larry. I so very much enjoyed conversations with him. People would have to come and drag us to whatever we were supposed to be doing because we'd get so involved in dialogue. 

Larry and Claire were treasures. Thank you Aunt Pauline for bringing Uncle Paul into our life and hence  the wonderful and fascinating "Murphys" like Claire and Larry.

Dear Murphys -

While I was saddened to read about your wonderful mother's passing, I am glad to have known her.  I always enjoyed when she and your father where at the family cottage in Hubbards with "Aunt Helen" before and after the summer season of the Connolly clan. It was a special part of my younger days too, listening to stories told by our parents generation. Claire was a truly kind,  gentle and wise woman making everyone feel welcome in her presence.  What a life she lived and what a legacy she has left behind in all of you.  I am sending my sincerest condolences and thinking of you all.

Dear Tim, Anne, Maureen, Erin, Helen, Claire, Kevin and families.  So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Such a kind, gentle woman with a beautiful heart warming smile. May your treasured memories live forever in your hearts. Our deepest condolences Cathy, Frank, Ryan, Stephanie, Kate  Shreenan and families

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother.

To the Murphy and Strachan Families,
What a long and wonderful life Aunt Clare and Uncle Larry enjoyed!  They touched many lives.  Larry was my mother's cousin My grandmother was Katherine Frances (Murphy) Walsh.  I have many pleasant memories of spending summers in Nova Scotia ... one month in Halifax with Grandfather Walsh and his sisters and one month at the Murphy fruit farm in the Annapolis Valley.  Claire and Larry gave wonderful support to my Godmother, Helen Murphy.
When I was 9 - 10 years old, I spent the summer  in Baddeck with my Carroll grandparents and rode the ferry from Baddeck to Dartmouth several times.  I may have met Claire's father.
Enjoy sharing memories of Claire and Larry and they will remain forever in your hearts.  Love Katie (Carroll) Probst and Family

Dear Murphy ‘kids’, I am so very sorry for your loss; your Mom was a very dear person indeed. She devoted the same love and grace to her friends that she did to her family. The years that Mom and Claire shared their lives (going back to their Mount St Bernard days!) in occasional visits, lunches out or just long phone chats were such a blessing in Mom’s life. More-so were the years they lived ‘down the hall’ from each other at Melville Heights, it was so comforting to Mom to have a visit with Claire every day. Her friends were so important to her. I hope that many great stories and memories will be shared in the days to come - I can’t think of a better tribute to her than to remember all her kindnesses to you and others!

Dear Tim, Anne, Maureen, Erin, Helen, Claire and Kevin-

  It seems most appropriate that your beautiful mom passed away on Mother’s Day. She was not only the most loving mom to her seven accomplished children but also to the crestview drive kids- always kind, interested, supportive, non-judgmental, welcoming. When you were with her, she was totally focused on that moment. I remember her  sweet smile and wonderful laugh from the time of my early childhood. It was such an honour to have had Mrs Murphy  as a major influence growing up next door. She will be remembered with love by so many.
