Dear Bob and Joyce,
I cried Friday night when Mom called with the sad news. Myrtle was the most generous person I ever knew (with her love, laughter, and prayers). Every year on my birthday, without fail, I would receive a birthday card and a $20 bill. I have such fond memories of taking Myrtle and Aunt Rita to the casinos! I will be very sad on February 8th, but happy to know that Aunt Myrtle will be in heaven listening to a trumpet solo from Vinnie.

Dear Bob:
We are very sorry to hear of Jan's passing. Jan was a vibrant, funny, generous and kind person. I was very fortunate to be able to spend time with her in California during my internship at the LA Zoo. She always made sure I was up early and ready for that freeway drive. She even made me a lunch each day! She and Vince were hilarious together, always joking and laughing. They showed Doug and me the sights around Long Beach. I remember her that year as she celebrated her 75th birthday - she was so thrilled and touched by the lovely party her relatives and friends gave her. Jan was an elegant, compassionate woman, and we shall miss her.
Please accept our deepest sympathy for you and your family. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Joyce, Bob and Gary,
Oh how I wish our family could be there with you to celebrate Aunt Myrtle's life. She was a special person to all of the Mendenhalls. We are thankful for all the many prayers she offered on our behalf. Myrtle had a special knack of making everyone feel loved and special. She was one of the most generous people we'll ever know. She was beautiful inside and out and she had the best laugh. We all feel honored to have been loved by her. She will live on forever in our memories and our hearts.
In sympathy and love,

GG, (Great-Great Grandma)
I feel so blessed to have known you! You are a woman of elligence and spunk! I always thought, "I hope I'm as beautiful and witty when I'm 90 years old!" I will miss you always! You are the great grandma I never had. I love you eternally. I am so sad for us left behind. But Jan, I am truly so happy you were able to move on and be reunited with your loved ones. And you were able to leave this Earth with Dignity, and you were able to leave peacefully without a lot of suffering. For that I am grateful. XOXOXO
