"Cedar Grove community - Last Sunday morning as Dawn was breaking o'er the eastern hills, the loved ones of Myrtle Grissom Myers, who had kept almost constant vigil at her bedside since she feel asleep 111 hours before, realized that they had done all they could do, that they had gone as far as they could go, for the Angel of Death had wafted her spirit away on its snow-white pinions and her sleep was now one from which there is no awakening, until the Great Judgment morning. To the bereaved ones, we offer our deepest sympathy and in their dark hours of loneliness and grief, may they find comfort and consolation in God's Word and in the consecrated Christian life which she lived. May all that was bright and beautiful in her life, shine as a beacon light in the lives of those left behind, pointing them to the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world."
