I do send you my condolences, and know how much Myrtle will be missed. I had the pleasure of knowing Myrtle during her many years as a volunteer with the Women’s Health Initiative. She was a delightful, dedicated, and inspiring friend to us all, and always livened up our group with her surprising tales of jackpots and her other worldly adventures. Know that Myrtle has also left a legacy of better health for all women through her devoted service in this research study.
I will miss Aunt Myrtle and have so many wonderful memories of her and our families together.
OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. MYRTLE WAS A FIGHTER TO THE END. BUT SHE IS NOW AN ANGEL WATCHING OVER US ALL. AND OF COURSE SHE IS STILL SEWING CURTAINS IN HEAVEN. WE WILL MISS YOU.
I will miss Myrtle in so many ways. She was a wonderful mother-in-law, grandma and friend. It was an honor to know her.
We didn’t know Myrtle very well however, we know her wonderful boys, our deepest sympathy to all of the family. Myrtle will be missed.
