Myrtle Lee was such a very special person. We all have the fondest of memories of her cooking, her joy of life and the many hours we spent together listening to Charlie and Daddy (Bill Clark) picking. She will always have a warm spot in our hearts and in our memories. You are all in our prayers! God Bless! Love, Billie Sue, LuAnn and Judy (Bill and Virgina Clark's Girls)

Nothing can take away the pain and lonliness that you all will be feeling over the next few weeks, but in time the memories and the love that you all shared with her will see you through this difficult time. Myrtle Lee was always thinking of others and trying to make everybody happy-know now that she is the happiest of all with Our Father in Heaven. She will be missed greatly. God bless you all.
