I am very saddened by the loss of Mrs. Byrne. Through the years I have known her as lovingly directing the care of her husband when he was acutely ill, then dealing with the tragic and untimely death of her son, Mike. I have watched her carry her own personal battles time and time again through her own illnesses. Mrs. Byrne was a genuine lady of character, dignity, compassion, gentility, and wisdom. She would always have a kind soft spoken word of praise and thankfulness in most any situation. I have many very fond and prescious memories of Mrs. Byrne, and she will be terribly missed. My love to her husband, Mr. Donald, and her children, and her grandchildren. Your loss will be shared by the many lives she has touched.

Mrs Byrne was my Girl Scout leader in the early 70s. I can't recall our troop number, but we met each week at Grace United Methodist Church. Peggy and Shirley were in our troop, and I remember what a kind and giving person their mother was - and to her credit, her girls were just like her. May God bless you all during this time of sorrow.
