Cathy, Beth, Bill and families,
Renee and I are so glad we knew Myrtle and the joy she brought. We know the sorrow of losing a mother. Gentle hugs and prayers to you all.
Cathy
My deepest sympathies to the Keeler family for you loss. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss. We had wonderful parents and with every passing year I appreciate their sacrifices more. What a wonderful place to grow up. It takes a village, and Vine Street was that! My prayers are for you, knowing there’s some partying going on in heaven!??
