I am sorry for your loss of Aunt Myrtle, but I am happy for her. To end the suffering and loneliness that comes with old age and wake up in Heaven would be the ultimate joy and happiness. As time goes by you will remember so many wonderful things about your mother that will help with the emptiness you feel. I still miss and cry for my mom when I feel sad or things are not going well for me. Moms have a way of taking care of us even as adults. My deepest sympathy to you through the next few days and every time you miss her.

She is at peace and just think how wonderful it would be to see our grandparents, your dad and Jesus all at the same time. Hug each other for me. Love and hugs to all.

Please, accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of your sweet Mother. She was one of the most loving persons I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have so many fond memories of Aunt Myrtle that I want you to know how much her boundless love for all of us meant to me.

She was patient and caring to me. Never cross and always the first to encourage me when I was young. Even though it has been many years since I have been able to see any of you, you have been in my prayers and thoughts often.

Sincerely,

Jim Puterbaugh and Family (Donna, David and Steven)
