"Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart."
Wishing you Hope in the midst of sorrow ,
Comfort in the midst of pain,
With heartfelt sympathy ,

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Myrt will be truly missed. We are expressing our deepest sympathy to the family.
