To Myrt's Family,
My sincere condolences to you all. I haven't seen Myrt for years. My husband Wayne Bertelson was your grandma's cousin. He is no longer with us either. I am writing from
Eau Claire WI.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss, what a beautiful picture of Myrt. I am a cousin of your Mother and Grandmother. When I was young and going to College in Mpls. I spent many good times with Myrt. In fact my first memory was of her trying to teach me to play Cribbage,Which I didn't do well. We are sorry we will not be able to come, we do still drive, but with the weather as such its not a good time for old folks to be out on the Hyw. and of course our kids aren't able to get off work. If any of you get this way stop in.We would like that.Love Joyce
