Don, Please accept our condolences on the loss of your Grandmother..
We know how special she was to you.
Wrap yourself in the warm memories and keep them close to your heart.
Love, Laurie & Rich
Myrtis was a sweet friend and a wonderful lady. I had the pleasure of
being in a Prayer and Support Group with her and some other ladies in
our church for several years a few years ago. She led our group in study
many times and was such an inspiration. We also had good times when
we had socials with our husbands. Her words of wisdom on the program
of the Celebration of her Life uplift us all! We will all miss her grace!
