Karen and Judy and all of Mama Myrt's babies, Mama Myrt is one of the blessings of my life. I am so fortunate to have known her. I can still hear her melodic voice in my mind's ear. You, too, are blessed to have had her so many years. May you celebrate her life with your memories, while knowing she is in a wonderful place in spirit. Dotty McPherson
