My condolences to Sandy, Linda and family – I worked at Nipsco with Myrtle. She was a very dedicated worker that any employer would love to have. She was so proud of you, her nieces and family, and smiled as she talked about you. I enjoyed working with her and the visits that we had many years after she retired. Lots of good memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
