My first thoughts when I received your email this morning was one of deep sadness and shedding tears. I had many thoughts of you and your family. It may sound strange to say, but then came thoughts of happiness. Happiness for having known him for so many years going back to McIntire High School, playing football and baseball with him at Albemarle, the fun of being in Agriculture class together and then knowing you and Myrle together all these years. There several things we know, Myrle loved you, you were the only one for him. God knew what he was doing when he matched you two. Myrle loved his children and grandchildren. Myrle loved life and enjoyed it all.

I write these thoughts of happiness but the tears are still here because I will miss him so much. Okay, I can write again. My thoughts now turn to you. Heidi and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there is anything we can do, please do let us know. We are here for you.

Please let us know when the arrangements are made.
