To Verna and the Davis-Reddick Family, I send my condolences. I've had the pleasure of meeting Myrtle years ago and as always she had the most wonderful smile on her face. There are a few people you come across in life that leaves a lasting impression and she was one of them. She will truly be missed. We had the honor of seeing her smile here on earth, but God will have her everlasting smile forever. Remember she is home with her Lord where there is no pain or suffering and everday is beautiful. God came for his angel and we will see her again when He comes for us.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To the Davis and Reddick Families: I wish I had the right words. Just know I care. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

This candle symbolizes light and Myrtle was the light for her family. She was such an humble person and always greeted you with a smile. When some family members heard of her transition immediately they thought oh my who's going to make the potato salad..:)so many things you can say about her but know she was a child of God. May God comfort each of you as you comfort one another. Keep the Faith !!!!
