OK - Here goes. I miss her.
She was my little sister and I loved her. I feel that I failed her. I was supposed to take care of her. I tried to inspire her to restart her life and I thought it was happening but she died anyway.
We had a lot of fun while she was on Guam - and I am so grateful to Mom and Dad for bringing her here so we could spend those weeks together. But now I miss her. And I can't stop crying.
Here is a photo of her from Leo and Eva's wedding. We had a great time as the wedding was at the Catholic church in Santa Rita and it brought back a lot of memories of years of going to Mass in Agat. The priest was really funny too, making jokes about marriage and such. Kerry, in her typical active style, kept getting up and taking photos.
I wish she were still here! But as Pat said today, she lived her whole life in great style but quickly. She was a teenager before she was a teen, married young, and retired young. And as Maureen said, she always wanted to be first at something. I guess this is it.

Hello all,
First time blogger here, it has been much to long since I have seen or spoke to any of you! Fortunately my mom gave me the scoop on the blog before her time expired so I will be able to keep up with the fam. I just wanted to follow up on Auntie Shannon's post and say I agree 100%, she did it much to quickly but at least it was with style. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
I wanted all of you to know that she had the most wonderful time in her life these last few months in Guam with her family. I couldn't imagine she would have wanted to spend the final months anywhere else. You guys were always there for her, and for that I thank you, she needed the support.
I am fighting with tears as I am trying to figure out what to type. I plan to go through her belongings sometime here this next week and I will make sure to grab ALL sentimental possessions, pictures, recipes, new and old. If you would like me to send you ANYTHING please shoot me your email addresses.
I would love to stay connected with every single one of you, so make sure to jot down my contact info;

Feel free to call at anytime, day or night. We miss you guys, and when I say we I am speaking for Heidi and co., Danny, Bob and myself. I hope this situation does not draw us further apart but rather the opposite, because I know that is what Kerry would have wanted. Thanks again everyone for always being there, and I hope we speak soon.. =)

Hello family,
I want to say that the Austin contingent of the Murphy family is feeling very heartbroken as well...my mother especially.
Like Chris, I hope this brings the family even closer and want all of you to know I love you very much.
My memories of Auntie Kerry are of her fun personality and lots of laughter.
She will not be forgotten.
Love you all,
Katie
