MawMaw Myrtle's kitchen was always open to anybody who was hungry. On many occasions it was full of delicious aromas, meals, family and friends. Although we all gathered there on the holidays, there was someone coming by all the time to get a good meal and wisdom from MawMaw. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all.
