So sorry for your loss and ours. Beautiful lady both inside and out. Sorry I won’t be able to attend her memorial but plan to watch it on-line.
Myrtle shared her pleasure so naturally. With delight to be close to people.
She and Uncle Bob were happy people, joyfully strong.
Reflective of the Grace they were walking in.
They were generous and cheerful and Myrtle was a talented musician who took joy in the moment.
I love the memory of how they rejoiced when I shared with them my conversion as a teenager.
Aunt Myrtle was true blue. Loving Jesus, the Savior of the world. She and Uncle Bob shared their living faith in such a warm and welcoming way. This shows in their ebullient children, Ruth and John, Kathy and Dean, Bobby and Gayleen. Sincere, kind, fun, direct, selfless, and witty! Giving to all their blessed assurance: The goodness of God! Christus Vincite!
