I worked with "Murphy" at Motor Vehicle Branch years ago. She was so much fun and had an excellent sense of humor and contagious laugh. She also spoke her mind and was very down to earth which made her that much more magnetic. I'm certain she fought hard, because thats just her way. RIP my dear friend. My condolences to all of the family. - Posted by: Marie Larsen (Friend) on: Feb 11, 2023
