Enjoyed many wonderful conversations with Myrt over the years. What a great sense of humour she had. She will be missed by all of those lucky to know her. Our thoughts and prayers with all the family as they face this void without her. ~ Pat Billington
Thanks for all the great memories we shared together. You were always there for me when I needed you. You were "Our Rock" and "My Best Friend". It's only been a week and I miss you sooooo much already but I know you're still with me. Love Your Daughter & Best Friend Michele. "I Love You To Pieces" ~ Michele Billington
Hi to each of you in Myrt's family. We are sorry we were not able to attend the Celebration of Life for your mom, and our cousin Myrt. She was the oldest cousin in the family, and I spoke with her over the years as she checked in on her mom, and also my mom and dad in Surrey. She had many long conversations with my mom, Ruby, and I know she will be missed. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go thru this time together. Jim just lost his mom too, and we are off to her memorial service this week. We understand what you are going thru. Love and Prayers, Jim and Patty ~ Patty & Jim Maynard
Myrt was our special niece. We dropped in to see her when we were in Calgary. We always appreciated her phone calls to check in on how we were doing here in Surrey. We will miss talking with her and keeping up with the family. Please keep in touch, as our family is special to us. Love and prayers, Uncle Wally & Auntie Ruby Schlamp. ~ Wally & Ruby Schlamp

Mom, It's not a yearly date to remember your passing...I think of you daily but today seems really hard I don't know why. I had a very productive day...just sitting here by myself now relaxing watching TV and wishing you all were with me. Good memories always but lots of tears today ~ Michele Billington
Myrtle, I just received word of the death of your beautiful daughter, Michele. I can't express how much my heart hurts with her death. We grew up together in Algeria. And she is still my best friend after all these years. May you take her in your arms always. ~ Ruth Thomas
