Marilyn's Story
After a varied career/life... ended up in Nevada working for a church as a spiritual director and
in charge of senior ministries, homebound and grief counseling.
Blessings to all ... 2013 will mean 50 years after graduation... where
did that time go??? June/2012
Husband, Eugene Francis Murphy passed away Oct 3, 2012 .
New year, 2013, we've all had lots of changes, growth, challenges, joy,
sorrow... part of life. When my Mom was dying in 1978 she said to stick with
her through the process (since I seemed to be the only one holding it together
for some reason)... she said, "I'd develop a depth of character I could never
get any other way" ... I said, "I'd rather be shallow, not experience this and
be home reading a book."... she laughed and said "life doesn't work that
way and neither does death... now call the Minister and see how you can
help him. He is new at this and having a hard time.".... I thought.. give
me a break..... but, it led me to become a hospice care...Expand for more
giver and to the work
I do now.. So... 2012 was again one of those character building years... I'm looking
forward to a 2013 filled with new adventures, the love and joy of my children,
grandchildren and friends... laughter and fun. Jan/2013
Retirement... finally after many decades with airline, bank, own business, etc etc...
The time has come. Travel, fun, rest, study, new adventures all await.... come on
world!! March/2013
