Pioneer Press - Twin Cities, Mahna Katherine (Hunt) Murphy Nov. 4, 1944 ~ July 14, 2004 ~ Mom, Ten years ago you left this place for your heavenly home. It is not possible to say with words how deeply you are missed. I have given up on my countless efforts of trying to live my life without you here. There is no possible way for a daughter to forget her beloved mother, because it is everywhere and in everything that I see you. I hear your voice with every sunrise and sunset ~ because it was then that you lifted your prayers for those you loved. I taste your determination in the sweetness of an apple ~ because you always had to climb to the top of grandma's tree to pick us only the very best. I feel your compassion in the warmth of the animals ~ because you never turned away an orphan animal that was brought to your doorstep in need of health and care. I feel your endless empathy when I meet a person that is broken in spirit ~ because you met every person exactly where they were and offered a giving hand and gentle word of hope. I hear your diligence when the Salvation Army Bells ring ~ because it was even during your final days, you were sure that someone was signed up to ring the bells at the local grocer. I feel your passion when I walk along the shorelines ~ because it was on the freshwater lakes that you loved to spend your leisure time. Can you see? It is not possible for you and I to ever be apart. You breathe memories all around me, mom. You were an angel of love and compassion to all who knew you and we long for the day when we will be together again. Love, Your daughter ~ Deeply missed by all ~ Your husband, Jim. Your children, Jeff, Kimberley & KC. Your grandchildren, Colette, Tawnya, Marissa Grace, Samantha, Tanya & Johnathan. Your great grandchildren, friends & family.
