We will all miss Myra. She was a very kind and generous Aunt to me and a wonderful Great Aunt to my children. She was a tireless sender of birthday presents and cards and was always interested in the children’s progress, especially their work at primary school, as she helped with reading in a local school. We always looked forward to her visits to London and Ireland, when we would see her and her great friend Margaret Hawkins. Our thoughts go to Margaret at this sad time and we would like to thank her for all the love and friendship she gave to Myra and her family. She was an invaluable support to Myra in her last illness. With love and regret from David, Moira, Henry, Olivia and Sophie Farmery.

It was with considerable sadness that we learnt of the death of Aunty Myra. I write from Cornwall and our retreat here is still touched with Myra’s generosity and kindness. We will miss her visits to Cornwall and Ireland; her stories of Joy in her younger days will always be treasured.
It is impossible to find a form of words to express our gratitude to Margaret and Mrs Hawkins for their kindness to Myra through the years. Their devotion will always be much appreciated.
We are sorry not to be with you on Wednesday but rejoice in the knowledge that Myra is amongst dear friends in Canada.
With fond memories and best wishes; love Jay, Poppy, James, George and Emma Piggot.
