My deepest condolences to Myrna’s family.
I first met Myrna wirking alongside her at the Kidney Foundation. I regarded her as a mentor and true friend. Coffee time was always on at her house. We enjoyed many visits together, and we promised each other that when COVID was over we would give each other a hug and catch up.
If I could have chosen a mother, Myrna would have been the one. I love her to pieces and will be missed very much.
My sincere condolences to all the family and friends of this wonderful person. I knew Myrna through June and have many fond memories of this kind, witty, interesting, hard working and talented woman. I know she has left a gap in many hearts, and I also know things were not easy for her the last while. Rest In Peace, Myrna, and live well all.
My deepest condolences to Raelene and all of Myrna’s family. I will forever cherish the many years of
wonderful friendship we shared. “ Myr” was truly a great, beautiful person. RIP my dear friend. 🌹.
