To Betsy and Family,
I share in the feelings of sadness and loss of your wonderful mom, Myra. Mimi was a most amazing woman, one of the warmest, feistiest, funniest and classiest that I have ever had the pleasure to know. Although, a Damn Yankee, she and your dad always made me feel welcome and special in their lives and I can't tell you how much I always truly enjoyed her company and friendship. I'll miss her dearly as you all will, but will always hold dear the memories I have of her,...

Dear Chip, Betsy, Scott and Godsey Families.
Bill and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to the entire Hays/Godsey families on the loss of your dear mother. Myra was a very special woman and had a positive impact on all of our lives.

We feel privileged to have been able to call her "our friend". She will be greatly missed.

All our love,

Linda and Bill Hawkins

Betsy - I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Myra was so very special and always helpful - I called on her many times in the various organizations we belonged to, and she was most generous with her time, talents and ideas. I will miss her so much.

Those are such wonderful memories and I pray that they will help you during this sad time. She will always be in your heart and sole.

Myra Hays was a special woman. Growing up, I had the incredible pleasure of having Myra as one of my moms. She was strong, a great cook, a wonderful seamstress, hilarious, loyal, but above all, a devoted mother. From Myra came 3 very special people -- Chip, Scotty and Betsy. Betsy - only a Myra could have created something as wonderful as you, and don't ever forget it. Thank you for sharing your mother with me. Remember, time moves on, but love never changes. I love you all very much.

It is with great sorrow that we say farewell to our Beta Sigma Phi sister, Myra. We know that her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew her. Our hearts are truly saddened.

Alpha Chapter, Beta Sigma Phi

Lynn & family,
May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
