Condolences
The family of Myrtle A. Rupkalvis has received the following condolences.
Aunt Myrt was a thoughtful auntie. She remembered my childhood birthdays all the way up until I was in college with a card and a dollar or two enclosed. I saved up those dollars from her and Grandpa Tradup to buy books when I was a kid.
Though I didn't see much of her myself due to distance, I know that the closeness she and my mom (Fran) developed over the past 25 years meant a lot to both of them. I remember her as smart, outspoken and determined. She also made amazing bread and butter pickles! I give thanks for her because she knew that little things matter.
With love, your niece, Krista
Susan,
Please accept condolences from your graduating Class of 1963 John Marshall. Our sympathies and prayers go with you in the days to come.
I'm not sure if you remember me Sue, it's been a long time.
