Myrtle,

I will cherish the time that we shared together singing in the choir and I will miss you immensely, but I know that you are in Gods hands.Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom, Lisa and the family. God must have wanted a soprano because he got the very best. Rest in peace my sister.

I remember Myrtle from working with her at Peterson AFB. She was a wonderful woman. I went to school with her daugter Lisa and always thought she was such a carring mother. Shawn (Whiteford) Shoemaker.
