    Myrl,
    She had a very long life that many of us never get. God gave her many gifts during her life. Most of all may have been the influence during her life that she shared with her families. I know that because of her age she had to be a “rare person” that trusted in the Lord and this trust she shared with everyone she met. I think that I had met her at the Four Schools Reunion but not sure.I know her family to some extent and went to school with Paul AHS class of 61. We pray for God’s comfort during this time of sorrow. Please think of it as more as a gift of her life from God and unto you and not a time of pain. She is where God wanted and needed her and now she is home and free of pain and suffering. God is wonderful. Love from Ray and Fran Cunningham, Rome, MO.

    My heart goes out to my family in their time of grief. Aunt Myrl was one of the hardest working women I know. She done so much to help my mother when she needed help. I could never thank her enough. I am so thankful to have had her in my life. An angel for sure.

    I know how hard it is to lose the last one of your parents, but I also know how hard it was to see them lay and suffer. Aunt Myrl is in a better place. If anything I can do please let me know. Love you guys.

    Dear Paul, Pat, and Jeanne

    Just learned that your dear mother has passed to a better place.
    I know how much you all loved her as I did mine. We still take the Herald and see where you go down and mow her lawn and is it here.
    Eventhough she was old, it won’t mean you won’t miss her, as I do mine.
    Just wanted you all to know that we do remember her and we
    are thinking of all of you at this time.
    Mary Jo and Jim
