  1. Myrtle you are now with God in heaven and your husband I dearly called preacher. Will miss you and loved you coconut cream pie. You family are in my prayers.

  2. My deepest condolences to your family. Losing a loved one is never easy. As you continue in life keep the wonderful words found at Revelations 21:4 with you and hold dear the thought found in Isaiah 25:8. No, I can not bring your loved one back but I hope that the comfort in knowing that God not only wants to but will is encouraging in itself. – Acts 24:15. Again, I am deeply sorry for your loss.Sincerely,Ashley Worley

  3. What a Wonderful LifeThinking of Myrtle brings a smile to my face. Tears come as I prepare food to feed the family. Thinking of her brings many smiles to many faces to those who loved her. She could make you laugh. The honest truth, she could frustrate you at times.I take humble pride in being the one she would call to "work on her tv remote" "or some little something would be wrong with the phone" She made me feel so special because she thought of me that way. I would go right away and she what she needed, and was so glad to "try" to fix it for her. No matter which one, you dearly loved her. And, she would laugh with you with any situation. She had nick names of Ma Myrt, Myrtle the Turtle, many more.We'll miss her peach cobbler at Lilley's Chapel. Many, many people will be reflecting on her delicious pecan and coconut pies. She was so generous to bake those pies for many. And, loved everyone. She made everyone feel that she loved them the most. That's a rare gift. Oh, how she will be missed. But, those with the hope of heaven know that we will see her again some day. Know that she will be with her beloved late husband LR, Leroy, Dude as many called him. Myrtle thank you for your love. Thank you for sharing your life with many.
