Not sure what to say?

Myril Adler's classes were a singular gift in my art education.
I learned from Myril what a joyous experience making art can be.
Queued up alongside that printing press with our little experiments,
we each peeled that damp paper away revelling in the excitement and
spontaneity that are the heart of the artistic process.
My condolences to Sharon, David and their families.

To the family: Your mom was a very special teacher to me and to my own mom. Her ebullient spirit opened up my mother's joy in painting. Going to her art class after school was one of my favorite times as I was growing up. I know she was failing for a long time so I hadn't tried to visit her in recent years but it was not for wanting to. Please know that she is remembered by this neighbor as one of the best.

To the Adlers, May special memories bring you peace and comfort, you are in my thoughts and prayers. No soul remembered with love is ever really gone. As a former student, I will always remember with great fondness and gratitude the artistic inspiration Mrs. Adler shared so well with her classes. May God's blessings be with you all.

To Sharon, Sarah and the Adler family. My sincere condolences on the loss of Myril. She was an extraordinary woman whom I enjoyed knowing during my years at Briarcliff HS.
