Just Like You - A Tribute to Rebequa Murphy

Rebequa Getahoun Murphy was a distinguished example of service and love. Becky was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend, an expert in her field and a devotee to her Faith and to serving her fellow man. She was born July 24, 1953 and passed on to the Abha Kingdom November 25, 2008.

From the Universal House of Justice:
"We were deeply grieved to learn of the untimely passing of cherished handmaiden of the Blessed Beauty Rebequa Murphy. Her long years of sacrificial, devoted labor for the Cause of God were distinguished by tireless efforts to protect and propagate the Faith as a member of the Continental Board of Counsellors for the Americas, preceded by her membership on the National Spiritual Assembly of Alaska, her service as a pioneer in West Africa, and her work as a representative of the Faith to the United Nations in New York. With abiding admiration we pay tribute to her fervor for teaching, her close and caring relationship with youth, her capacity for showing genuine love and affection to individuals from all strata of society, and her ability to enkindle in the hearts of the friends the desire to serve. We ardently supplicate at the Sacred Threshold for the progress of her luminous soul throughout the heavenly realms and extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends."

"Just Like You" Lyrics:
O inspirer of hearts!
O devotee to the Cause!
You inspire my soul, I wanna give it all
Away just like you, just like you, just like you.

O lover of God!
Who saw the beauty in all.
I wanna do like youve done, love everyone,
The way youve loved me. Like the way, youve loved me.

O learned of Baha!
Who taught us who we are.
The spiritual ones, descendants of the Dawn-Breakers.
Ya Baha, you showed us who we are.

O newly welcomed one,
Whos reached thy heavenly home,
And achieved divine reunion,
With thy God, thy Adored One, thy King, thy Desire.

For centuries to come, well benefit from
What you did do.
We aspire to be
Just like you.

This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for putting a tribute to music. When I am having a hard time, I often think of Becky and her steadfastness, optimism, energy, and love.  She touched my life from childhood on, and I will always treasure that. Becky, I love you!

Beautifully done, Bryan! I love the picture of her lying on the grass, thinking about the Faith I would venture to guess! Thank you.
