Larry My Dear Cousin, you are in my thoughts today. I pray for peace and strength for you as you go through this time in your life. Your surely have been blessed! Myrtle was a very special lady. I recall our visits to her home several times, some when you were also there. Even when she was elderly, she kept her own back yard garden as I recall, kept an immaculately clean home, and shared her family pictures with me. I am not sure if Ralph and I will attend her funeral, but we will be with you in spirit and love. Prayers for all the family.
