Dear Family,
We are so sorry that we did not know about your Mom’s passing until a friend told us about it yesterday. We always liked Mary Lib and her spirit.
This morning we emailed some of the Myers cousins to let them know.
Lawrence is the son of Lena, Uncle Charles’ sister, and your grandfather.
We express our sympathy and may you remember the good.
Lawrence and Elaine Myers
I just learned today of your mother’s passing as I have been out of town. May you find comfort in the fond memories that you made with your mother.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I was both sad & joyous when I saw that your Mom had passed. I know what you’re feeling because my Mama went home to the Lord on 2/25/10. In time your grief will subside somewhat knowing that she will no longer hurt, etc. I wish I could be at her service, but I can’t. I love y’all & will be praying for your healing!
In Friendship and Caring at a time like this,friends want to share the sorrow that you feel and let you know their caring so very warm and real and so,whatever help and comfort friendship now can be,it yours today with warmest thoughts and deepest sympathy.
