Dear Knapp Family,
Please excuse my lateness of sending my prayers for your family in the loss of Myrle. My mother has been friends with your family for years. Florence Mick passed away too on August 26, 2014. I am sure Myrle and my mother are walking through God's Garden together. Sorry for your loss. Like you there is happiness in knowing we will see them again in heaven.
May God bless you all, Susan Mick

Mrs. Knapp was a wonderful and caring person she cared about her students when she taught and remembered them after they moved on from her class. She was loving and had a heart of gold. She will truly be missed.

Mrs. Knapp was a wonderful lady. I have used all her life lessons that she taught me over the years. I will miss her laughter and smile that always seem to have, even at 7 am when she greeted me at the door. The Knapp family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,you all Prayers, Chrissy

I am so sorry for your loss. My family only knew Mrs. Knapp for a short time. Her smile for everyone around her knew, she was happy to serve our Lord.

Elmira will not be the same without her! I pray that our Heavenly Father wraps His loving arms around all of you during this time of your loss. May you all be comforted in knowing that Yai Yai is not in your past, but she will be in our future when we meet again on that wondrous shore! Love and prayers to you all!

My thoughts are an extension of Sandy's. When we were kids living in PA and then NY, a visit from Aunt Myrle and Uncle John was the highlight of our day. Their love was very special and just kept growing over the years. How blessed we were!!

How all the Brugler kids loved you, Aunt Myrle (and Uncle John). We loved the music, the humor and love you provided for us over the years and especially after losing our Mother in 1988 and you always made our Dad feel more like a brother than a brother-in-law. The Place reunions were wonderful and so special when we could be there, and it was you, Aunt Fran and our cousins who worked hard planning them and making them so special for which we have always been grateful. Our only regret at...

Dear Knapp Family, So sorry for your loss...and you all are in my prayers at this time. Your Mom was a Saint and she Loved her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for sure and her countenance showed it. She is in Glory shouting and singing and smiling cause she is free indeed now.. Love, In Christ Ricky M. Wylie
