This site is a tribute to Gail Murphy. Beloved Wife of Richard and loving Daughter to Ruby and Brian. Gail will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.

Gail's funeral service took place at the Forest of Dean Crematorium on Monday 25th November with David Wildin officiating. On entry into the crematorium a recording of Thank you for hearing me by Sinead O’Connor was played. During the service, poems and reflections were recited by Jenny and Rita. No one’s going to love you like I do by Band of Horses was played during a period of reflection. On leaving the chapel a recording of Parisienne Walkways by Thin Lizzy was played.
