I was sitting in my living room thinking about Myrtice this evening. I am so sorry to acknowledge that she's no longer here for me to call her and CUT UP on that phone for hours. She was a comical, joyful, and all out hoot to be around. We enjoyed shopping and laughing at things only we found funny. She was truly a dear friend. I only wish to see her again some day. My love to her family.

To the Becoat family: There are many who knew what an extraordinary, loving, giving, loyal, argumentative, crazy-fun, fantastically exuberant person Myrtice was; and she will remain so in our thoughts and hearts.
