I worked in Chicago with Myra for a few years.   I considered her a good friend.  She always made me smile. You felt comfortable around her.  We only spoke a few times since I moved to  Missouri, but I will never forget her. God bless her spirit and her family.

Myra, Aunt Myra, (or as I called her Auntie My)

What a woman.  Heaven has definitely gained an angel. Everyone here knows what a super  woman, mom, aunt, sister, grandmother, friend, and neighbor that she was. Myra had the biggest heart of anyone I known (well equal to that of my mom) but then again they were sisters. 

I am not sure if I can come up with enough words to do justice to describe her. Over the past few days I have heard people describe her as giving, loving, welcoming, funny, and caring. Yes that and more. She was an awesome listener,  a super hugger, the best baker, and very tenacious person.

There are so many times when she would be there to help others. Whether it was taking neighbors to the doctors, dropping of mail, making food for others, calling and checking in on everyone, and she would bake goodies for everyone. Oh and  speaking of goodies, what about her awesome cupcakes and brownies, she must of added some extra love when making them.  My kids say that hands down hers were the best, mine could not even come close when I made them with the exact receipe.

Myra was a middle child like myself, she would always say we understood each other, and then just laugh.  She loved Hallmark Movies, HGTV and of coarse the Bachelor.  We would love to chat during the week about the shows and would share our takes on the episodes. She would always find the spoiler alerts on the bachelor and share them with me.  I would just shake my head and would just laugh.

Myra had a way of making everyone feel special…I remember on one of my birthdays when everyone was out of town (summer birthdays during the July 4th week).She showed up on the door step of my condo with a cupcake and sung happy birthday to me.. Again we just laughed.  Her sense of humor was over the top. One year she bought me a gift as a joke, it was so funny that I gave it back to her on her next birthday and for over 30 years we gave it back and forth to each other on our birthdays.

When our mom took ill, we moved our parents in to Tamarac to be closer to family, and so it happens that one of Myras neighbor was selling so they ended up living down the street. Myra went above and beyond to help, she checked on the caregivers and provided care too.  Once again that CARING GIVING person just jumped in.  We are so thankful for all the love and assistance she provided for our family.

Myra loved her family so much… We often heard her share stories about her kids and grandkids.  She was so proud of all of them and their accomplishments.

Myra kind of became a second mom to Deb and I.  Each Sunday we would gather for coffee at her house.  These were such precious times.  She would text us each Sunday morning to let us know the “Coffee Shop” was open. To say the least Sundays’ will never be the same. 

Myra you are truly going to be missed, but we know you are in Heaven, out of pain, dancing to your favorite tunes, hanging out with your sister, family, and friends who became angles before you. We know you will continue to watch over your family from heaven.

We love you, and so until we meet again.

Yesterday’s service for Myra was so beautiful and the support from family and friends was abundant. Truly a  “party” Myra would have loved! The pastor said that sometimes, at memorials, kind things are said about unkind people and sometimes kind things are said about kind people…. it was made clear to him that Myra was a genuinely kind soul. He heard people talking about her acts of unselfish kindness all afternoon. Myra, you will be dearly missed. May you truly rest in peace.

Its hard to know Myra isn't here. We believe she is at peace and although we miss her it was a tough battle back to health. Tom misses your talks out on your patio and I will miss my first friend here. Rest in peace..you touched alot of people.

Brenda, Dan and family ,
We are so sorry for your loss. We loved Myra. We also have many memories. She was the best friend anyone could have. We were friends since the 70's. Not always in the same state but always in touch. Her passing is such a great loss. Just remember to cherish all of the memories to get you through this sad time. Love you all,
George and Barbara Savko

The first time I walked into Myra‘s house and saw her jukebox and booth table, I knew she was a hip woman! She was on the ball with everything. No matter how busy she was,  she always took the time to sit down and talk with me. Many years of cutting her hair, I became very fond of her as we became friends. She will always be in my heart, my condolences to all of her family. RIP, Myra.

There are no worlds to express our sadness and shock. All I can say is we are so grateful and thankful to have gotten to know you and love you. Always such an up and positive person, willing to help and lend a hand whenever needed. You were truly one of a kind. We are going to miss you terribly, especially your daily chats with my Mom, and my chats with you. Always making me laugh. I wish there was a phone line to Heaven so we could keep them going. 

Thank you for being the best friend that my Mom could have ever asked for,  and for checking in with her and watching over her. You were an Angel here on earth…now an Angel up above.

Rest in Peace beautiful lady. Gone from sight, but your love and the beautiful memories will remain in our hearts forever.

Until we meet again, Myra…..🌹🌹🌹🌹

I imagine you’ll be busy when you get to heaven! You 
always like to keep busy! You told me the Later years you 
had to clean the house before the cleaning girls got 
there! That always puzzled me! Your floors were always 
clean enough to eat off of and you were always doing the 
laundry! 
If you don’t mind, could you please look up Sandy when 
you get to heaven and tell her how much I love and miss 
her! I’ll be seeing her and rest of the family soon!
Have fun visiting with the family and I’ll be thinking of 
you every morning when I an drinking my cup of 
coffee!!!!!
I know you will be having a special cup of coffee with 
them! Hope you can find your Coffee Mate up there!
You always had to take care of me growing up! Well, your 
job is complete! You no longer have to watch over me,
but I know better!
LOVE YOU SIS! REST IN PEACE!
YOUR PAIN IN THE ASS BROTHER Billy

MYRA, MYRA, MYRA, where do I start! 
Let’s start here! The good old days!
You and John were the first ones in the family to move to 
Florida. Later everyone would follow! I guess you could 
have been called a trend setter! LOL Remember the 
trailer in Aztec estates? We all used it. Yes, you were the 
trendsetter!
You use to always be the one that had to babysit me 
when mom and dad were away. Myrna and Bob were 
always on the go! You were always my rock! 
I Remember when you had a party. I Taped your party 
with a tape recorder under the pool table in the 
basement. I couldn’t wait to play it when mom and dad 
got home! 
I remember when we move Green bay and you didn’t 
want to move. 
I remember coming to your house in Lansing around 
Christmas time and helped you put together toys for Dan 
and Brenda for Christmas morning! Remember Johnny 
West farm set!
Coffee started with mom and Dad going to our grandpas 
and grandmas George’s in Hammond every Sunday. I 
remember Dinner was fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes 
and green beans. I remember eating dinner and all the 
men ate first and then the women sat down to eat! 
Tradition at that time! No women could sit down and eat 
at the table until all the men were done. 
None of the men were allowed in Kitchen to cook or to 
help clean up! I remember dad saying you girls can clean 
up now and I had to go outside while all the women 
cleaned up! I was not allowed in the kitchen or touch a 
dish until I was much older! 
When I moved to Florida You and I met every Saturday 
for Coffee and kept the tradition alive! Somehow it got 
switched to Sunday mornings! But the trend continued!
I want to thank you for that along with all the other 
things you did for me and my family!
When I decided to move away, we decided to talk to each 
other every day. We had a schedule every morning at 9 
am! We talked even if it was just for a minute, sometimes 
longer, we very seldom missed a day! BUT We always 
kept in touch!

Myra 
 I was truly blessed to be part of your family though friendship. One I will always cherish. You were a strong amazing woman. Heaven now has the brightest star and beautiful angel watching over your family.
Whenever I did spend time with you at one of the family gatherings and we talked you were always a great listener and gave me great advice! Thank you for passing that trait to Bren......greatly appreciated lol! Until we meet again Myra SHINE ON! xo

Myra was a special lady to both Tom and I. She will be missed. Its hard to look across the street knowing she won't be there. Rest In Peace

Dear Myra ... you were like a  2nd mother  to me for the past  45 years.   You welcomed me into your family and home and treated me like one of your own.  I always felt your love.  Every celebration, every time of need, you were always there !  I will miss you terribly and will carry all our memories in my heart forever.   Rest Easy and Watch over your beautiful family.
With So Much Love,
Bonnie (Bob) Henrici

Myra was a shining light in so many people’s lives. She loved helping her friends whether it was cooking for them, checking in on them or driving them to appointments or stores - she was the go to person in her neighborhood.
Myra had an invisible welcome sign on her door. She never turned a guest away even if they were unexpected.
She always had goodies too. The best being her homemade treats. I loved her cupcakes and pot roast dinner the best!
 Myra was a great listener - she made people feel comfortable and heard. She had strong moral beliefs and didn’t mind sharing them. Myra was the best mother in law too. She never pried or pushed.  And I always enjoyed her company - we have had some good belly laughs.
I loved making things for Myra. She appreciated my gifts and always said I was “crafty”. She was such an easy person to love. I am going to miss her and our  impromptu visits. 
Myra, you were a very strong woman who endured a lot of pain. I am hoping you are at peace now and no longer suffering. 
Love you!
