Prayers and much love to you all!! Mom/Myra will always have a special place in my heart - she is a very special lady to whom I met many moons ago and grew up with in our neighborhood. She was always there when one of us kids had the need to talk, she would listen. So many stories we shared growing up with you boys!! She will be missed by all who were honored to cross her path. May God be with you all through this new journey you are traveling and guide you. Love you all from all the Medina's!!

Dear Mike, James and Kevin:
We were so sad to hear of your mother/grandmother's passing. She really was a good woman. I'll never forget the "girls" she had. We know that she will be missed.
Please know that our prayers are with all of you.
Lots of Love.
