Love to all of you and wish so much that I could be there on Wednesday. Myrna's home was always open and welcoming. I remember visiting her with my Daddy when Kyle was in Vietnam and listening to cassette tapes he had recorded for her, usually playing with Mike and Tammy but taking time out to sit with her as I was fascinated by Kyle's messages. She was filled with love and always enjoyed connecting with people. I remember visiting her in different homes and places, and she was very uplifting. She was wonderful to my grandmother who was welcomed to spend cold months with her in Hawaii. When my mom was dying in the hospital, she and Kyle came to visit. I really enjoyed my last visit with her in person when I had come to a camp in Virginia for the second level of a trauma healing training for inmates and returned to Elizabethton to visit, and she welcomed my partner in the trauma training to also stay with her. She continued to proclaim her faith and be so loving even as she was very sick when I would call her over her last month, and she truly did just want our whole family to be together to celebrate the holidays with everyone welcome. Her love continues as we think of her perspectives on people and life. Love and prayers, Lee Anna
