Myrtle was a very sweet lady. My son loved to see her each morning when he was at the bus stop outside her house. He would run up and give her a big hug each morning. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of grief

Mrs. Myrtle was such a sweet lady. I've had the pleasure of living across the street from her for 3 years. She was especially kind to my 2-year old daughter, Taylor. Taylor just loved her and Princess Diana. We would see Mrs. Myrtle out for walks with Princess and Taylor would run over and give her the biggest hug. One thing's for sure: Mrs. Myrtle always expressed her love for God, her friends, and family. We will truly miss her! We love you, Mrs. Myrtle.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of great sadness. I worked with Myrtle for a few years and found her to be the truest of friends. She had a heart of gold, and would not hesitate to help anyone in need. She is with God now, and no doubt doing in heaven as she did on earth, helping any who need it.
