Not sure what to say?

Granny, you will be sorely missed. Your very presence brought a sense of joy and happiness to all that you touched.

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Your memory will be our treasure, best of wishes on your continued journey

We had the pleasure of caring for Mrs. Myrtle for many years at Share the Care. Singing and dancing with a smile on her face always. She will be missed. My sincere condolences for the family.

My Great Grandmother loved to dance. She literally out danced me on two separate occasions. I was a teenager and she was well in to her 80's. Have you ever been out-anythinged by an 80 year old? A very humbling experience, no doubt about that. And proof that age is simply a linear record of time spent, not a license to slow or sit down. Today we lay her body to rest, but I believe from my heart that her spirit is alive and well, out dancing all the Angels in Heaven. ☺ Today, I celebrate you....

Grandma, Patsy and I are going to miss you, that loving smile, your warm and always welcome spirit that you give to everyone regardless. We are going to miss you at our get-togethers where that fun loving part of you was so evident, always dancing when you could or sitting in the chair clapping your hands and rocking your head to the beat of the music. May God bless.
Patsy and Phil ( Oviedo)

Grandma, I love you for raising me with such patience, wisdom, love & care. You taught me to love God with all my heart. You have left a great legacy not of riches, but of love. So go in peace, you've earned your sleep. Your love we'll eternally keep. Until we meet again. Last lik!

Myrtle touched so many loves with her beautiful positive happy way. She was always singing hymns of praise & making everyone feel loved.
Heaven has received another angel.
