I’m so sorry to hear of Myna’s passing. I’m in Florida, unfortunately I had not been in touch with her since Jan. Myrna was so brave, never complained, a gracious hostess when I went to visit her. She was a devoted mother, loved & appreciated her family so much.
I will miss Myrna as a friend, neighbour & faithful Rotarian.

Dear Roy Family
Derek and I were heartbroken to hear of Myrna’s passing. She was such a bright light at Rotary and a delight to get to know in the short time we knew her. She was an IMP. Her humour and and caring for others set her apart from many others. She took a genuine interest in everyone’s life and shared stories of her children and their dogs coming to visit. I always wanted to set her up with someone just to make her laugh and see her face light up with that devilish grin. She was so interested in politics and grilled Derek for the inside scoop at every chance. She supported his campaign and we are forever grateful. Those tiny shoes will be hard to fill and our hearts go out to you. May your memories and the memories of others shared here comfort you in these difficult times.
Susan Hicks - Palgrave Rotary
I wish to offer my sincere condolences to your family. Myrna was an amazing person and she was much loved in our Rotary club. So much fun to work with and she was always willing to help with any project and put so much effort into it. I will miss her laughter and great sense of humor. A true example of Rotary’s “Service above Self”. Even during the time she was fighting cancer, she was always more interested in hearing how YOU were, instead of talking about what she was dealing with. Such a wonderful, loving and caring person. Truly one of a kind. I wish you comfort and peace.
Cheryl Fuller

To all of the Roy family our deepest sympathy go out to you all with big huggies ❤️ Jeff & Cheryl Fuller
