Dearest Aunt Myra, You will be missed but you are with Grandmom and the rest of your family that have gone on. Please tell Daddy hello for me. Always loved listening to you tell of Jesus and things your Grandmother told you and sisters as a little girl. To cousins, Tia and Forest, my heart goes out to you. She is resting in the Lord. Linda
