Marge:
Despite long years, loss of Mother is probably the most heart-breaking (aside from a child). This is the woman who brought forth your kind and thoughtful soul. While, I know that recent years have not been easy, the knowledge of no more time to phone, share activities, and the other things only Mothers and daughters can share is the hardest to endure. My heart goes out to you at this time and may you know that others are thinking of you and offering prayers in your behalf. Love, Lexia

My deepest sympathies go out to your family. Myrtle was a very nice lady. I will always remember the three "M's" at Copley Health Center. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My Aunt Myrt took care of me when I was small and my own Mom could not. She wanted me to eat green beans, but let me have her special banana cream pie. I will never forget Herman, the mountain lion, stories that she told to peals of laughter.
May we all remember her soon with smiles instead of tears, the way she would have wanted it.
I am sending big hugs to all - Bonnie
