So sorry for the loss of Mrs. Myra.. She was a great person and I have many fond memories of her as I was growing up.. She will be missed greatly.. We loved her like family and always will.. My Grandmother Merl and her were great friends, and in March when Merl had her surgery, She got Mr. Rodger Dale to bring her to see Merl and as I walked in the living room they were both in Wheel Chairs and were holding hands and it was the sweetest moment.. Great friends for over 30 years.... She will be forever in our hearts and I know Grandma will miss her greatly..
