Tiffany Murphy, my Daughter, my Tiffy. There really are no words or enough words i could say that could describe the beauty Tiff displayed on the outside or the love and special qualities Tiff held in her heart and soul. I know the Lord has special words to describe and places for people such as Tiffer. The beautiful person whom i had the honor to be her Dad. We could sit and laugh for hours sharing time together. I always looked forward to spending every minute with her. She lifted me up and everyone fortunate enough to be around her. She had a great sense of humor and no doubt she was above me in her caring for people and was the most generous & unselfish person i ever had the honor to be around. She Blessed this Earth with her presence for such a short time and i know we all feel robbed by her absence, however i know the Lord is taking good care of her now. The pain we feel is nothing compared to the pain Tiff had to contend with since the early age of 8 battling with acute chronic pancreatitis, even though she would never let you know how much she was hurting. I know they probably have to wear sunglasses in Heaven now since Tiffy is making it a brighter place and bringing joy to all there now. Tiff was so fearless and always ready for the next adventure whether it be Bungee jumping to whitewater rafting. She is the only one, along with her Sister Destiny i know that could go down the entire rapids going around in circles without falling out of the Ducky they were in. It was an amazing day! Thats the way Tiff was though, even if she was hurting she would not want to stop anyone from having a good time at her expense. Such an amazing person she was & i know the pain of her loss will remain forever in some ways, but deep inside i know she would want me and all of us to keep living, loving & giving to each other. She even gave to her last breath through her Organ donations in the Lifeway Org. Tiffer, I will always love & miss you deeply, your Dad, Hugs & Kisses

From Birth on , What memories and Joy My baby Has given me!!!! Where do I begin She would always write me notes and leave me gifts that she bought at the Christmas Store at School, Oh How I remember one year she was around 6 years old saving her money, doing extra chores to get more Money and bought the most prettiest ring emerald with diamonds fake remember bought at the Christmas Store, I was cooking Christmas Dinner and she tried to give it to me and I said awww Baby that is so Beautiful I would love to see you wear that you worked so hard to get it. She said Mom this was bought for you and again my hands was in the Mashed Potatoes , I said babe hold on that when I'm done I want to put that in a Special Place well she put it in my pocket needless to say Couldn't find it rush and packages wrapping paper throwing away, But I have it in My memory the Love and Joy and the hard work to get it for Me, Later On real life as She became a Woman she bought me  a Real set real diamonds emeralds earrings necklace and ring!!!! What a Giving Person!!!! Another Precious Memory that touched My heart was the Graceland adventure. She knew I love Elvis. So many precious Moments!!!! My heart a big Piece of it went with Her!!!! A Mom is not supposed to bury a Child!!!! Tiffany like I said I will never let Go and I will see you soon until Then I will be loving you!!!!! Mom

Tiffany always had put a smile on my face when she had said a joke or something funny that would made me laugh and I remember all the road trips that you went on with us, Tiffany you will always be missed.

Tiffany touched so many people in such a short time.  She was always fun to cut up with and had a great since of humor.  Even though she may had been dealing with her pain because of her pancreatitis she would never let on that she was in pain.  She put on that great smile and shined and brightened up the room.  There isn't enough room to share all the great memories that we had with her.  She would go on vacations with us like Six Flags.  She would ride every ride with no fear.  My first memory of Tiffy was when I went with my then girlfriend Stephanie to go and meet her Mom and her two sisters.  Destiny and Tiffy asked me who was I.  It was right before Christmas and I told them I was Santa's helper.  She was 6 years old and she believed me.  I had the great honor to watch Tiffany grow into the beautiful young woman she had become.  You will always be missed, never forgotten, and always loved.  There is no more pain for you here and I know Heaven is even more of a better place with you there.  I remember the last thing that we said to each other.  I said "I love you Tiffy" and she said "I love you too".  You aren't supposed to have favorites but Tiffy knew she was my favorite.  So it's not goodbye, it's I will see you soon.  Even though she was only here for 22 years, if she was here 122 years it would never be enough.  

I remember holding you, carring you around like my little baby and this one time you grabbed my face and gave me a kiss and said I love you and I told you that I loved you too. You then said I love you even more than that. It was so adorable I never say it any other way now.  We got a little older, drove the Barbie Jeep chasing  the dog or each other usually ending up hitting a tree, played make up and dress up with crowns like a princess. Who would know years later we would share similar styles and give each other make up tips from so many miles apart.  Lot's of hotel memories jumping on the bed and swimming in the pool taking turns saving each other from drowning, we were pretty wild. Watching 8 mile movie over and over and over again!
  I miss you already Tiffany, you have brought so many people back together again and reminded me of the importance of family and cherishing every moment given to us. Thank you for all the laughs. You were loved and cared for by more than I think you even knew. You touched people's lives without even trying. Just by living life so fully, so happily. You will live on now  forever in our hearts and minds. In the stories and memories we share. 
R.I.P dearest cousin.
         I love you.


Tiff my very first, most vivid memory of you goes back to your mom's house. Aunt Linda, my dad and mom were outside working on adding another room to the house. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with you, Destiny and cathy eating butter out of the tub!! Lol you and Destiny convinced us it was the best thing in the world! All of the visits in Florida, we were pool rats, you couldn't get us kids out of the pool for more than 5 minutes! I regret the last time I was in Georgia I didn't get to spend time with you, time is precious- you always think there will be a next time. I love you and I'm proud of the individual you were. Give Granny, pap and Ronnie a kiss for me! Love you Tiffany!

My little sister was amazing.  Tiffany always had a smile on her face. She was always there for me when I needed her to watch my kids without hesitation.  I love the times we all would go late night shopping then sit in the car for hours just listening to music.  She had a taste for clothing too always telling me to look sexy....lol  The last time I saw her was on her 22nd Birthday at rehab so Thankful I took off to go see her .  I love you Tiffany Till I see you again . Love your big sister

There are so many fond memories from our childhood. I remember her swimming in the hotel pool when visiting me in Florida. I remember her trying on dresses in the Augusta Mall for our grannies funeral to ensure that we got the right size and color. No matter how sick she was always loving and full of cheer. A smile that was vibrant and infections to all those around her. I will truly miss my wonderful and loving cousin. 

Just being completely goofy in the mall. She always made you happy to be around  her. Tiffany was truly one of a kind.  Its still hard wrapping my head around this. We lost touch but we're still friends. I Remember so much goofiness and laughter.  You will always be missed but are no longer suffering in any way. I love youu.

I don’t have words to express the loss of you. Tiffany, you were always so funny and full of life, you never let life get you down. We parted ways a while ago, and I will forever regret that. Your friendship was so special to me. I am thankful for the times we spent dancing, laughing and just having fun together. Linda Conner-Murphy and Destiny Murphy I am so sorry. I’m here if you guys need anything. Even if it’s just a memory, we can laugh together. My thoughts are with your family. Tiffany will always have a special place in my heart.

Taylor and I ran into Tiffany by chance down town one night. Little did I know this was gonna be our last picture together. 😭😭 
The world is gonna be different with out your amazing personality. Fly high

.....we have a donor match. You need to get here ASAP." Turns out the transplant was a success. My emotions I had never experienced before, how can you be happy and sad at the same time?? How was my friend Linda and her family holding up? I have no right to feel joy! My friend just lost her precious child! Emotions going back and forth. Finally I offered it all up to God. He gave me comfort. Tiffany was with Him now in no pain in total blissfulness in His arms. It's ok, for me to rejoice. I questioned him, "but what about her family?" The feeling I got in return was, "don't worry, I got them too." Tiffany was an cheerful person even through her pain. The videos shared you can see she was quite the "ham." Beautiful in every sense of the word. She could change her look from blue hair and eclectic, to the grudge look, to 40's and 50's floral dress skirt. She loved fashion. She was about to become a paramedic, to save people. In my opinion she graduated with honors, she saved me! To say Tiff was a giving person would be an understatement. Thank you Tiffany for giving me the gift of life! Please to all that read this, become a organ donor. What a beautiful gift.

This is all so bittersweet for me. Remembering Tiffany when she worked at Salsa's. She really didn't know who I was. But I knew who she was, I would chit chat with her. Bet she thought, "who is this crazy old man?" And, "Is he hittin on me?" I just laughed and finally told her who I was and how I knew her. She looked relieved. LOL One day her Mama, Linda gave me a call, Tiff needed surgery and was a little scared. Linda was rallying people to convince her that everything would work out just fine. I like to think it's because of my sense of humor I was invited. NOT! Never ever did I think things would end up as they did. You see, I myself was very sick with a disease called PKD. My kidneys had failed and I was on dialysis 3 times a week for six hours. On March 23, I received a phone call that evening. The person on the other end was crying uncontrollably, so much so I didn't know who it was. I recognized the voice but still could not figure out who it was. Then she said, "Tiffany had just pasted away." I knew exactly who it was, and my heart just sank. This was Linda completely shattered and in pain. What do you say? How can you comfort someone in such pain? I began to cry. I mumbled some awkward words. I prayed a short, fast prayer in my head. Something to the effect of, "Lord this can't be happening, please take away Linda's pain." Next a voice came over the phone, "Mr. Tucker this is Mike with lifelink. Linda tells me that you need a kidney and Tiff was an organ donor. I need to get all your information to see if you're a match." What? What kinda dream/nightmare am I having?? Information given. Mike says he'll call me later in the evening. He hung up. How are you suppose to react to all of that?? After midnight I heard no word from Mike. Ok, maybe not a match. Do I call Linda this late? Not sure what do. Next my phone rings again it's 6:30 am the next day, I had fallen asleep. Answering the phone, the person on the other end said, "this is Emory Transplant Center 

My mind is full of thoughts. Its hard to sleep. I wish u didn't go so soon. You were younger then me. You had a full life ahead of you. But the good thing is, you're not suffering anymore. Nothing but memories are going through my head. I wish I was there for u more. I still remember the first time we met. You hid my color pencils in 6 grade, your the one who pushed my buttons all the time until we got to high school. Then we both got in trouble in Spanish for talking. You helped me with my Spanish so I could pass the class. And then I went to some of your bday parties. And I met your family. I saw where u got ur personality from which was ur mom. You will always be missed Tiffany Murphy

I unfortunately couldn’t find any pictures of us together. My favorite memory of tiff was when we took a field trip to Atlanta and she made me eat and when I say made she shoved puff corn in my mouth and held my mouth closed. Then proceeded to ask me if it was the best thing I had ever eaten.. spoiler it totally was. Our friendship faded when I moved. But I still have memories Rest In Peace beautiful.

My sweet friend. How we have so many memories of when it was your sweet 15 you had a blast and I did too that I didn’t wanna leave that night it was fun! I remember you telling me you wanted one and you got one and you would ask me how to do one and I had to ask my mom because I didn’t know either. I remember the  times that I visited you and we had fun. 

My best friend! So many memories that range from childhood me hitting her from jealousy (which quickly turned to love) and running to the neighbor’s doghouse to doing EVERYTHING together! You can see in all our pics that we were inseparable! She was the person who would listen to me whine about anything lol and we’d stay up and watch movies afterwards. Favorites ? The Addams Family, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown Series, Selena, Etc,.. She loved Halloween in case you haven’t noticed.  She was my partner in crime and I’ll always miss our midnight shopping trips to Walmart and our mini “zoo” trips to stare at guinea pigs and birds at Petsmart and Petco lol. She could make doing anything fun! Her personality was so unique and vibrant! (So was her hair and makeup) she always had crazy hair colors and rocked it! Who would’ve thought purple and blue lipstick would look good? On her it did! 

My dear sweet sister in law. I never got enough time with you, 6 years just isn't enough. You were an amazing bright loving person. So giggly and fun. It's not the same going to see everyone and you not there. But thank you for the years you gave me. I love you always.

My heart is sad for this sweet family. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you all.

Dearest Linda and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss.    Please know that I am thinking of you and sending love and prayers.
Hoping that your beautiful memories of Tiffany provide you comfort through this difficult time.
My love to you and your family,
Jodie
