Our Sincere Condolences
Myrna Sue you are such a true friend. I will relive our time on the walking trail every time I head out without you.
So much to talk about and we always left our conversations on the trail. From the beginning to the end, it was so enjoyable.
I will always remember so much about you.
Enjoy Heaven you’re the best.

Myrna Sue was a good neighbor and a dear friend that was always there to lend a helping hand. We shared years of joys and sorrows. I compared her to a beautiful hummingbird because she was always on the move! I will miss her joyful spirit and sweet smile.
The only times I saw her in complete distress was when a snake was around. Living in the country provided ample encounters with them. If she was out mowing on her Grasshopper, and we heard a scream, we knew exactly what it was! She hated snakes!
It is such a comfort to know that she no longer suffers and is surrounded in that perfect love of our Heavenly Father! No more fears, not even of snakes!

Myrna I know you are happy to have met your Father God and his son Jesus. It was tough what you went through and the pain you had I deal with daily it’s severe and prevents me from doing a lot of things. I pray for you to enjoy your time in heaven even though you left this earth sooner than most of wanted but it won’t be long before I come to join you.

I would often run into your mother in town long after I had you as students. She always remembered me and we always had a great chat. She always asked about my family and was very gracious in telling me about your journeys after Holt Elementary. I was very sad to see if her passing and I know you will miss her very much. Much love to you two girls.
