    So sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many happy memories of time spent “next door”. Trips back to the lake on a hot summer’s night and piling all the neighbour kids as well as all the “D”s” into the back seat of the car for a trip to the Drive In. …..and she made the best brownies in the world.
    Rick & I were priviledged to meet her again a couple of years ago on a surprise visit to Thames Road Church.
    She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.

She’s left behind many beautiful hand-made gifts for her family & friends, & these will always be treasured. Our deepest sympathy to all of Myrtle’s famlies & friends. May you Rest in Peace, Myrtle. You will be missed.

    The world lost a great woman today. She was a well respected, patient, and understanding woman. I called her my Grandma, and the legacy I will carry with me is her patience. I have never ever heard her raise her voice. I remember her removing the pills from a sweater. I was shocked that anyone would have the patience to actually finish this task. I will always remember her patience and love she gave us all.

    Thank you for being the best Grandma I knew.
