As a long-time friend of Myrtle, I know how special a person she was. I can't help but smile on the inside when I think about the legacy she is leaving behind and all the generations that have been and will be blessed by the life she lived. She will live on in my memory and thoughts forever.

Moms live in a special place in the hearts of their children and family. That's why mothers will continue to live even after they pass on. Your mother lived a great and meaningful life and it is an honor to call her my friend. She was a dynamic person and pleassure to know.

Tobbe and Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mom had a good life. I just remember as a neighbor some 45 years ago that was a lady around who I always felt comfortable.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I remember going to church with my grandma and Aunt Myrtle when I was little. They used to sing at church together as a group. They always looked out for each other like sisters do. Myrtle has lived a great life, with loving and caring people. I will miss her, and I am glad to know she is no longer in pain, and with my family. I love you dearly! -Joshua

Aunt Myrtle you were like a second mother to me. I spent alot of time at your house growing up. You always welcomed me anytime. You never had a bad word to say. You were a great loving mother and a second mother to me and a loving sister to my mother. My mother thought the world of you and so do I. It was so hard to see you in so much pain. I am glad that your with the rest of your family in heaven where you have always said you were ready to be with them. No more pain for you and your legs are up in heaven dancing around... I will be saying my goodbyes to you Friday and Saturday but you will never be forgotten and will always be in my heart.... Until I see you again.... I love you so much and always will... Meddy
