Not sure what to say?

i hardly knew her even though she was my only sister, older by 22 months. bobby hoping she is resting in peace.

Myra and Eric, I can't believe that both of you are gone. You two were stars. The Valley is dark without you.

Mom. I miss you so much. Love andy

You were always busy and so alive. Loved you and your boys their presence in our home was
so delightful. The memories will always be there along with the course we took together at the Barnes Institute in Philly and then the cooking class. We had some wonderful times together. And you will always be part of the memories I have when our sons were growing up.With my love and affection, your friend and neighbor Sheila Ginsburg

Smart, sassy and classy. I was happy to get to know Myra and share in her appreciation of the arts. Heartfelt condolences to her family and other friends.

I knew Myra from my Morning Call days. What a nice person! She was always so outgoing and energetic. And she was so proud of her children. As for her knowledge about the Arts, there was no one better. A good writer, a wonderful individual. She will be missed.

She was energetically interested and an enthusiastic participant that optimally enriched the class and regularly rewarded the instructor, then and whenever he had the privilege of being in her company or collaborating with her when she honored him by writing about his research on behalf of birds.

To the family of Myra --

Never thought "it" would be so fast, but when you look back over it, you all will probably be glad Myra did not linger. I have been going over my many sheets of trips taken since our marriage, July 15, 1951 and Myra was involved in so many. Trips to wedding, Laurences', Andrew's in Denver, Myra and Erica's in Santa Fe. Alex's in Great Neck. Plus Myra and I took vacations together, to Blook Island, Sanibel, and then ski trips, one to Park City. Chance...

I was so sad to here of Myra's passing. She gave so much to her family, friends and community. I will miss her flare, knowlegdgable conversation and stories of her experiences. When I recall Myra I see the way she would throw out an opinion, tilt her head and laugh a little while she waited for your response. Her presence enlivened all.
