  1. My thoughts and prayers are with the loving family of my dearest longest friend, Myra Lynn. She will be missed.

  2. So grateful for the years of friendship with this precious lady. Her passion for her beautiful flowers was exceeded by her love of family. Godspeed, Myra Lynn…

  3. I knew Myra Lynn as a young girl. I’m Charlie Hunter’s youngest daughter. Tom Russell was my daddy’s half brother.
    I’m sorry to read about Myra Lynn’s passing. You have my sympathy.
