To Myrna’s family, thank you so much for letting me get to know Myrna from Evergreen Village. She was such a happy lady, and always shared a story with me about her past experiences in her life. She will be missed by many. RIP sweet lady.
JoDee and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my prayers.
I was so sorry to hear about Mryna. I worked at the school with her. All the kitchen girls hadn’t heard about Mryna passing. I read it in the Amery paper. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
