My deepest condolences go out to those who loved and cared for Myrtle. I only got to know Myrtle for the last few years as the chaplain at Saint Thomas, but what a beautiful spirit she was to our community. Myrtle's love for her family and friends were evident in the way her face would always light up when mentioning her loved ones. I pray that in the midst of your grief, you will know the peace of Christ who walks with you in this valley. Thank you for loving Myrtle so much that she was able to show such gracious love towards our community at Saint Thomas.
Lovingly in Christ,
Rev. Margaret Propp

To Myrtle's family....sorry to read today of your loss. I used to take my Aunt Win to visit Myrtle. I got to know her then and followed up with visits to her once Aunt Win was gone. They were happy memories for me, as we always had tea and she told me, with great pride, all about her family. I know you'll find a void for a long time. Sincerely,
