"I didn't get the chance to know Myrtle that well or at all, however, I knew of her daughter and I was the one to hear how sorry I was when she lost the love of her life --- like a mother. Normally, mothers died way too young, when and with Myrtle, I didn't know she has led the longest life. What she did for her family and for the community, she made it all worthwhile in whatever she did. She had the faith that almost no other mature parent and/or grandparent, next to my grandaunt would have, who also had the twinkle in her eye that some other grandparent might have. May she #RIP, and I'll always be nice to Dr. Donna Tal's aide and Dr. Tal, herself, I must say & that's no lie!"
In loving memory of
Myrtle Everett
