We send our thoughts and prayers out to your entire family during this difficult time to sat good-by for awhile to a very special Myrtle. She was a special pal to our daughter Kristen when she was in grade school. She even made a flower girl dress that was worthy of a princess. I just had a knee replacement last Mon. So I can't be there at the service. I will uphold you in prayer. Mary Lynne and Dave Rathman
