Best grandma ever!! walks to the park when I was little, let me create any weird food combos I wanted bc I wanted to play chef. Taught me how to make scrambled eggs, play dress up with her clothes and jewelry. I will miss her so much.
Sorry for your loss. Praying for for your family.
Thoughts and prayers for Myrtle’s family. Many memories of growing up on the same street that Myrtle and her family lived. She was a fine person and I have missed seeing her since she has not lived in Carthage in a while.
Sending deepest sympathy, good thoughts and prayers for the entire family. We wish you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
