Lisa,Brian & Kim,
I'm so sorry for you loss. I know things haven't been easy these last several years, with the loss of you dad and with your mama's illness but I do think of y'all often and all the times we had growing up together. I remember working in the flower shop with you mama, her and Mrs Janice and mama drinking coffee together and the friendship they shared. She was a good friend to mama. Please know that y'all will be in my prayers during this difficult time. Love you all. Myra

She will be missed! I loved our coffee times and reminiscing with Uncle Glen about the "old days" and faces, family and friends...
She no longer suffers in this earthly flesh and is reunited with those who've gone before! :-)
