Some souls feel ancient the moment you meet them – wise, gracious, and quietly radiant. Ms. Myrtle was one of them. Though I entered her into her life by chance, I left forever changed by her kindness, her clarity, and the deep calm she carried. Our time together was brief but the impact Ms. Myrtle left on me runs deep. In her presence, I encountered a quiet brilliance, an inner strength and a generous spirit that welcomed a stranger like family.
To her devoted daughter Lynn – your love and care is a radiant reflection of mom’s legacy. Through you and those she held close; I came to see the fullness of the life Ms. Myrtle created and the many hearts she touched.
In the stories we shared, and the silences we honored, she offered reflections that linger. One phrase she shared, simple yet profound, continues to echo: follow your heart. A gentle invitation to live truthfully, love deeply, and trust in what we feel even when the path ahead is unclear.
Though she has moved on to a realm unseen, I believe Ms. Myrtle remains near, still teaching, still loving, still whispering that the heart knows the way.
I am forever grateful to have known you. Love you, Ms. Myrtle.
Dance among the stars, where time dissolves–your light unbound, still shining as your love lives on…

We know that you are high above us in the stars, shining your light as a blessing, and we are grateful to have known you all these years.
