Bonnie -
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You got to keep her a long time after her first stroke. But I know no matter how long you have them, it is so hard to give them up. We just have to cling to the wonderful memories we have. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lawrence, Bonnie, Lonnie, Sherry, Shannon, Luke, Sam and all of you good people.
Our hearts go out to you all with the loss of one of the most wonderful women in the world. Myrtle was a lovely and loving woman in every way. She adored her children and grandchildren and also gave generously of herself to the many other little ones whose lives she touched. We felt blessed to be counted among the families she helped raise. All three of our daughters have fond memories of "Nana" making them yummy eggs in the mornings and dancing with them around the kitchen to tunes on the radio! We're all very sad and send our love and gratitude for the times we had together.
Love,
Bob Gibson and Sarah McConnell and Helen, Logan and Stella.
