Thomas Timothy Murphy (1972)

To Linda's Family: it has been a long time since we all completed John Adam's studies in 1972. I recall Linda's kind nature and beautiful spirit when we were classmates all of those years ago. I prayed for her at mass yesterday and I hope you will keep in your hearts the happy memories of her life.  With condolences, Tom Murphy, Sydney, Australia
