To the Marcus Family:

I was so sad to hear of Myra's passing. I've known her since I was 5 years old and she always went out of her way to be kind and courteous to me. I will miss her smiling face.

She was a great lady. I know you will all miss her.

You are all in my thoughts & prayers.

God Bless you.

Dear Marcus Family,

I have been a patient at your practice for about 30 years. Myra was always a pleasure; and she never failed to ask about my mom. I will never forget that about her. I pray for all of you at this time.
