"Eternal Father" - A Tribute to our own Great Uncle James Murphy

This wonderful message was sent by Jim Herlihy.
"We sing this hymn at St. Teresa's - (Hitchcock's Church in The Birds). The Church is a few miles from the Pacific and boating fatalities are all too frequent.
It is the Naval Hymn and played when a sailor dies or someone is lost at sea - and is a fitting tribute to our Great Uncle James (Da´s brother) who was lost on the Carpathia after it was torpedoed.

It was also Franlin D. Roosevelt's favorite hymn and played at JFK's funeral."
