Dear Anne, Cecelia and Mary, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. She was truly an amazing woman. I began working for her in 1973 when I was 15 years old. She taught me the value of hard work and responsibility. She was a tough boss as she had high expectations of all of us but we all knew that she cared deeply about each of us. She raised a group of young girls to be strong women. Many of us have remained friends. She watched us all grow up, attended some of our weddings and even met some of our children. She was such a great influence to me as I grew from a teenager to a young woman. We kept in touch over the years. I owe my strong work ethic and strength largely to your Mom. Heaven has gained a most beautiful Angel.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of your mom. I was one of many teenage age girls that Mrs Meyer taught work ethics to us at WBGH. She cared about our futures. Many of those girls are still in each other´s lives, She succeeded in developing our skills of hard work pays off. She was a special woman in our lives. Thank you for sharing your mom with many young girls who grew into strong working women.

Dear Meyer Family,
I´m so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. I was a teenager when I worked with her at General Hospital. She was so sharp and didn´t miss a beat. Her uniform was always crisp white. She never showed an "I don´t care" attitude. She was such a hard worker. I know she loved her family and her faith. RIP Mrs. Meyer. You were loved and appreciated by so many
