  1. Myrna was such a sweet person and wonderful to work with. The last time I saw her she was taking one of my classes at AC. The first night of class I had a freak accident and broke my foot. She wheeled me in a chair from the classroom to the elevator and then to my car so I could drive to the emergency room. Truly showed how much of a blessing she was. Prayers to her family.

I pray for Joe and the kids as they mourn her loss but celebrate her beautiful life.
