Remembering Loeta Myers: A beautiful and loving lady

Carol Salato Myers writes:
I was deeply saddened to read about Loeta's passing. Earl, Loeta, Mary Ellen, and Joe were our neighbors for many years. I have many fond memories growing up next to such a wonderful family. I visited with Loeta not too long ago and her memory was phenomenal. Every time I was in her house, she always had her Bible nearby, thus a testament to her Christian lifestyle. I will miss her terribly, but always remember her as a beautiful and loving lady. - Carol Salato Myers
