Jon & Theresa - My mother and I were deeply saddened to learn about Myrna's passing, and both of us remember her fondly from Bever Avenue. As our next door neighbor, Myrna babysat me when my mom started teaching at Franklin, and later, I had the opportunity to babysit Jon. Myrna was always kind and friendly, and I remember her warm smile. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My sincere sympathy to Tom and family. Myrna went to Franklin High School the same time that I did. She was always nice to everyone. Myrna is just as pretty as she was in high school.
God's Blessings to Mryna's family.

Jon and Theresa, I was your mothers best friend in Franklin High School and we remained friends until her death. Your mother was one of a kind as a both as a teenage girl and a woman. full of adventure, kind, compassionate, bright and inquisitive. She knew the value of true friendship and I have no doubt that she lives on in both of you and your children. While she carried on the Finnish traditions of her parents so you could enjoy them, the traditions are now passed to you and in doing so her legacy to you will continue down through the generations to come.

To the family of Myrna - I was a classmate of Myrna's (class of 1957) and always enjoyed knowing her. I moved away from Cedar Rapids many years ago and came back for family visits and class reunions. Myrna was a wonderful person and I know that you all will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
