A special thank you to our sister Jackie, who cared for mom the last three years after mom had a series of strokes so mom could be at home. Myra was also blessed to have had very special neighbors and friends, Walter & Linda Billman who did more for her than words can express.
We are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. We will remember what a great lady she was and the times we had together. She is at peace with no more struggles. God bless and be with each of you at this time. Will say a special prayer for you Jackie and a prayer for Mary and Pat and all your loved ones. God Bless, Roma
Jackie, Pat, Mary
Your moms and my friendship started out working together at Castle Rock and grew through out the years as we connected in other aspects of our lives. The fun and laughter we shared, we worked at different ends of the factory she operated one machine me the other but we always were there to help each other with anything. Always eating lunch and taking our breaks together we were all a big family back then. Your Mom was a wonderful person and u were the light of here life. This world is a little less bright without her in it but she will be happy to be with your father and without pain. remember the good and happy times with her.

Dear family members of Myra. Gary and I had the priviledge of meeting your mom once a few years ago. We loved her from the first moment we met. She was so sweet, loving, kind, had a great sense of humor and made sure that a full spread (of food etc.) was provided for our visit. She reminded me so much of my own mom (Mae). Myra made us feel as if we had known her our whole lives; which is such a special gift. I am so happy that my daughter Kristina married Patrick and became a part of Myra’s family. She was a loving mom, grandmother and greatgrandmother; which was obvious by meeting each of her children and Patrick’s two sons Brian and Sean. Patrick (my son-in-law) is especially special and has been a blessing in our family. Myra was such a brave and courageous woman during her very long fight with the disease that slowly took her indepence away and when we met her I never heard her complain or if she did out of frustration I’m sure the times were few and far between. My prayer is that I will continue to grow into a mother like Myra and my own mom that passed away last June. I have no doubt in my heart that Jesus personally came to take her to her true home and she’s finally free from any limitations and is very much alive in Heaven at this very moment. I am so sorry for the grief you all must be feeling because of the loss of her presence; yet relieved she is finally in perfect peace and full of joy. Our prayers are with each one of you. Joanie
