Dear Alex, Ron and Mutita, Brad and Kari: My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your families on the sad news of Myrna's passing. For many years she was our neighbour and a cherished member of the Lomond community. Lively, friendly, and outgoing, Myrna always had time to talk and whenever our paths crossed we always had a pleasant chat. She will be missed by many. I am currently out of the country so will miss her service, but please know my thoughts are with you all! Marvin Maronda of Lomond.
We are saddened that you had to say goodbye to Myrna. Her last year with you was one of such struggle, and difficult for you to be a part of. Knowing she's at peace is comforting, yet grief-filled. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ??????
