So sorry for your loss of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I went to public school with both Bill and Kathy and remember Myrt driving to/from music festivals and fussing over the kids in our little Village. Myrt and Bill were a fun loving couple who enjoyed working together and seeing firsthand the activities in downtown Brigden. Times have certainly changed but the memories and love carry on. Condolence to the family.
