I Miss you Myrtis, I'll always miss you, The silent love we shared that only the heart knew of. It is complicated but I knew it was that Agape love we shard. Oh! Myrtis I miss you so very much. God was quite when he entered into the room at hospice as I slept next to your bed. Because He must have known to put a gentle spill of sleep upon me. Knowing if not I would have changed my mind to let you go and once more I would have rustle with Him like Job did. Tell everyone Hello and enjoy the sweet,sweet home of Heaven.

Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherded: I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoints my head with oil: my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. The 23rd Psalm lived in Myrtis Moore Heart, mind and soul daily. Alone with her love of young children
