Chic and family. I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful woman. I want to thank you so very much for sharing her with me for the past 6 years. She was more to me than words can express. She was my morning sunshine for all these years. I enjoyed our talks and the time we spent together. I miss her terribly, but I know she had a great life and is in heaven now. I'll always have her close in my heart. Thank you for the blessing of Myra being a part of my daily life. May God give you peace knowing that you did everything possible to let Myra live her life out the way she wanted. Love and blessings to you all.
