I will always remeber my Aunt Myra as being larger than life. Sunday dinners at her house were always a treat with lots of food, laughter and a gaggle of cousins to play with not to mention her gorgeous dogs. Her passing is a loss to us all; she will be greatly missed. Heaven gained a new angel; fly high, Aunt Myra. ❤️
Beautiful, love you Karen❤️
Myra was the youngest and only daughter with her two older brothers, Jack and David. Jack, my husband, has many fond and funny stories regarding how both brothers were her greatest defenders and protectors. I met Myra when we were still teenagers and then became friends as young wives and mothers. We shared a crazy sense of humor, always able to make the other laugh, and we had many wonderful times. with our growing families.
She went through some serious health issues, including cancer, and then losing her husband Ted much too early, Myra remained a strong, independent survivor.
We will miss her and cherish all the memories we made over the years…and our prayer is that she is at peace in her heavenly home.
