She was like a second grandmother to me and I have many fond memories of spending the night at her house with Candy and Brian when we were kids. She was a sweet, gentle woman who loved Jesus. She will certainly be missed.

So sorry we won't be able to make it. Martha considered Aunt Myrtle a second mother during her early years of life growing up in Colorado Springs. It won't seem the same going to the Springs and not stopping in to visit with her. Our thoughts and prayers will be with Myrtle all of the family on Tuesday. May she rest in peace now!
