Hey Mike, Sorry to hear about your Mother. I have great memories of your Mom when we would hang around the house together, the horses, backgammon, and swimming in the pond. Hope you and your family are doing well. Gary Miller

Myrtle, my earliest memories of you was seeing you walk Buttercup by my house twice a day. My cat and I learned to almost set our clock by those walks and we would go outside and visit for a few minutes. How I miss those times. I remember when we had to evacuate for Hurricane Ike how you resisted going but some of the good times we had while evacuated such as how you learned to love the bread sticks at Olive Garden. Your kind and gentle spirit will be missed my friend. Heaven is a better place for having you there. Carol Carter 6:46 pm 7/22/15

Buddy, Mike and family I have been blessed beyond measure with love and friendship with this great lady. She became so special to me over the years, I often called her Mom . Growing up in the neighborhood and eventually becoming her next door neighbor, I have many a great memories with her and your dad as well. I know she is in a bettert place now, with Bob, Linda and her grandson. I will pray for each of you in the days ahead. I loved her like my own mother. Rest in peace my dear freind, I will miss you. sincerly Greg and Penny Lemaire
