This memorial website was created in the memory of my mom Helen Murphy who was born in Carbondale, Pennsylvania on January 26, 1935 and passed away on Tuesday August 17, 2004 at the age of 69. We will remember her forever. She is greatly missed by me, my dad {her loving husband Tom}, Grandchildren, Tom , Brett and Alissa. And anyone who ever had their lives touched by her. She had a witty sense of humor until the end. And always made all of us smile! Even now just thinking about some of the funny things she always did brings a smile to our faces. And we are so happy to have such great memories of mom. In my eyes she is the best mom, wife and grandmother there ever was. And hope I can be the mom she always was to me. Love ya Mom, Forever and Always XOXOXO

Happy Birthday Helen! / Carol Pizzi (Angel Debbie's Mom )
In Loving Memory of Helen / Carol Pizzi (Angel Debbie's Mom )
Something Mom would want everyone that she loved and left behind to know. Please don’t feel guilty It was just my time to go. I see you are still feeling sad, And the tears just seem to flow. We all come to earth for our lifetime, And for some it’s not many years I don’t want you to keep crying You are shedding so many tears. I haven’t really left you Even though it may seem so. I have just gone to my heavenly home, And I’m closer to you than you know. Just believe that when you say my name I’m standing next to you, I know you long to see me, But there’s nothing I can do. But I’ll still send you messages And hope you understand, That when your time comes to “cross over,” I’ll be there to take your hand.
Mom For as long as I can remember... You were always by my side, To give me support, confidence and help.
For as long as I can remember... You were always the person I looked up to, So strong, so sensitive, so pretty.
For as long as I can remember... You always provided stability within our family, Full of laughter, full of tears, full of love.
For as long as I can remember... And still today, You are everything a mother should be.
Whatever I have become is because of you... ...and I thank you forever for our relationship.
