Jeremy and Naomi
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother was my professor. She was tough but very fair and could be very funny. Her dedication was evident in everything she did. She will be deeply missed

I heard about your Mother's death today and I am devastated;I have been thinking about her for the last few weeks.You kids were very young[in fact I met your mom when she was pregnant !] I worked with her at Fernald and we were very close.She was my teacher,friend and mentor.We won more than a few 'battles' together,cheered on the Celtics,drank a lotta coffee,laughed and cried.I have nothing but great memories and am so,sorry for your loss.Many lives were touched by Myrna and the world is a little less bright with her passing: I know mine is.
My best to you both.

To Naomi and Jeremy and my old friends at NECA. I'm so sorry for your loss. It was such a privilege to work with Myrna. Like others have said her wit, her mind, her warmth...helped keep things in perspective. I learned so much from her.

Dear Naomi and Jeremy,
I only knew your mother in the context of dog obedience training. We got together most Friday afternoons for lessons. We both looked forward to the special time we had working with the dogs.
Myrna had entered Scully in two obedience trials this weekend and to honor her memory, I showed Scully in her place. There were many people there who knew her, including Scully's new owners, and it was a very memorable, emotional experience for all. Scully was her usual happy girl and Myrna would have been so proud.
I was privileged to be a tiny part of her life, and am very saddened by her passing. My sincere condolences to both of you.

Dear Jeremy & Naomi,
I am so sorry about the passing of your mom. She was absolutely amazing and the service for her was beautiful. Continue to be strong and go forward with your lives as Myrna had such very high hopes and dreams for you both. I will be thinking about you in the years to come.

Your mother was a very generous and kind woman. I approached her as a complete stranger one day to ask about dog agility. (my inlaws live next door). I was just starting out in the sport of agility. Mirna very kindly spent quite a bit of time explaining the ins and outs of agility. She also very generously gave me a couple of pieces of equipment. I was very appreciative. thanks so much for sharing your mom with others. I'm very sorry for her passing.

My sympathy and thoughts go out to Naomi & Jeremy. I will miss Myrna terribly! She had a great sense of humor and a huge love for all dogs! Although I only knew the "dog" side of Myrna I was aware of her tremendous contributions in her professional career. I feel very privileged to have been a part of Myrna's life.

As odd as it may seem, we lived accross the street from Libby and unfortunately never met. Nevertheless, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
