So sorry for the loss of your Mum. I have many fond memories while working for the Wiles family at Smiths. Myra and I would occasionally gang up on Bert to make business decisions which would be met by heavy laughter from Bert.

John and Stephanie, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Myra was a special lady, always welcoming in her home and so supportive. The encouragement she gave me when I first started writing was, and still is, impactful. She was a delight to visit and quick to send over her famous cinnamon buns whenever a family was hurting. Great lady, great neighbor, great mum. Hugs to you all.
Peter Duff
John and Stephanie, I am very sorry to hear about Aunt Myra. She was a very special lady. I always enjoyed chatting with her and was often amused by her quick wit, sense of humor and her somewhat feisty outlook on things. It was great to see her last fall with everyone at the restaurant at White Point.
