I only got the chance to meet Myla in person when she came to the hospital to visit my mom and had a few Facebook conversations with her but she left a lasting impression with me when she expressed her faith and love for God. Her words of faith and testimony were such an encouragement. I know she will be greatly missed by many. RIP Myla Nichole
