Mike, Kevin, Doug, Susan and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Myrtle's passing, she was a special lady who loved her family dearly and will be missed. I remember her trips to South Carolina and her sharing her angel biscuits and cream cheese bar recipes with us. They were delicious, naturally!
I think of her every time I make them. I know there is a big family reunion going on in heaven with lots of laughter. I hope all of you find comfort in knowing you were a special part of Aunt Myrtle's well-lived life.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Kathy R. Brunson
Truly loved aunt Myrtle she was loved by all she will be dearly missed. I will never forget her coming all the way from Oklahoma to my high school graduation. I know she is sitting there with dad and all the brothers and sisters drinking a cup of coffee and talking about old times. Love you Aunt Myrtle.
What do you say about an older sister you love very much & who's always been there for you? She was 14 when I was born & told everyone she took care of me as an infant. She took me to my first-grade class. I cried when she moved away but we stayed in touch & she guided me. Even though her health was failing, she came to be with me after my husband passed, Sometimes she took long naps in the recliner, but my older sister was with me. All of us siblings had arguments at times but loved each other very much & often laughed together. Particularly if you were with Myrtle, you were going to laugh. She was gentle, kind, could be fierce when necessary. I will miss her & her kind, soft voice very, very much. Out of 10, there's now two. Dot, don't you go anywhere. Without Myrtle, we need each other. Mike, Kevin, Doug, Susan, I love each of you & want to hear from you. Love you, Myrtle, & always will. Say hello to the heavenly crew. I know there will be laughter.
To the family so sorry for your loss. I'll always remember sitting and eating at Mrtyle's table she made you feel at home.
What a wonderful sweet loving woman she was. A special memory of mine is when she made ginger cookies one year while I was visiting and she told me how ginger cookies were a must at Christmas. In her words, nothing smelled like Christmas like ginger cookies. I will never be able to smell ginger without thinking of her.
Myrtle was not only my mother-in-law, she was also my friend. She taught me what type of mother-in-law I wanted to be someday. She taught me how to cook her delicious, southern comfort foods. She taught me how to be a mom among so many other life lessons, and I was closer to her than I had been with my own mom. She only ever showed me love, compassion, acceptance and generosity and I will miss her deeply.
