Dear Family,
I had the pleasure of taking care of Mrs. Myrtle at Cancer Care of WNC, ( the vital sign girl). She was a wonderful person. She was a very lucky lady to have a family to love , support ,and take care of her. A special hug to Mr. Stroupe and John.
(Mr. Stroupe I will miss running after you in the parking lot). May the Good Lord give you peace in your heart. Much Love Susan
I understand the pain and emptiness you must feel. Remember all the good memories she left you and know you will be together again someday. I will continue to keep each of you in my prayers.
To John Harvey Stroupe and Family.
Just want to offer my condolences from my family and me. Jackie and Gary send their best wishes also. You both were good friends of my Mother, Joan Miller, and we all wish you our best.
I just now learned of Myrtle’s passing. I am deeply saddened. My deepest sympathy to Harvey, Alice, John, and Duck. May God’s grace give you peace and comfort.
