So sorry to her of Myrtle Lee's death. I hadn't visited with her for several years, to my regret. My mother, Emma Clay, and I always enjoyed our visits. My deepest sympathy to the family.

I grew up with Mertylee and we have been dear friends for over 80 years. We picked cotton together and sat together in school. I cherished our visits over the years and am very thankful I got to see her the day before she died. I will miss her.

Aunt Myrtle Lee was a wonderful person. She always had a smile and was friendly to everyone she knew and met. She was very devoted to her church and family. She will be greatly missed. To all members of her family members I want to express my condolences.

I lived in the same community as Myrtle Lee and sat with her in 5th grade at the same desk. When we were young adults we picked cotton and went to church together. We remained close friends and our families would visit every chance we could. I will miss the time I got to spend with her at Searcy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and numerous friends my Aunt Myrtle Lee had acquired during her many years as a resident of White County. She was a very special lady to us and will greatly missed. These words can never express the love we had for her. She is now in Heaven with her husband and my Uncle Ernest, her son and my cousin Kenneth, my mother, her other sister and three brothers. She will forever be missed but never forgotten.
