It was just a few weeks back that we lost our dear friend – Myrtle.
Myrtle served the Lord in many ways. In her life at home with her parents she was ready to help her mother, father, brother and sisters. After she married Felix, who was devoted to her, the two of them lived a happy life.
Having served as an organist at Holy Emmanuel Church for a long period, she gave of her best to the Church.
Princess of Wales’ College, where she studied and taught for 37 years, will undoubtedly remember her with much affection. Her pupils always speak of her kindness and dedication when teaching them.
The Princess of Wales’ College Union, or “Old Girls’ Union”, lost a resourceful member. She served as Secretary, Vice President, and later as a Vice Patron. The Union members showed their deep appreciation of her services to the Union, by taking her coffin through the Prince of Wales’ College gate and out through the Princess gate, before taking it to Church. Many present and past pupils and the Principal, were present and sang the school song as they felt it a fitting tribute to her.
During her young days she was an active member of the Moratuwa Y. W. C. A. She was a member of the Moratuwa Women’s Aglow and attended meetings regularly till her last days.
All her relatives and friends miss her because she was loving, helpful and understanding of others’ needs.
However, the Lord knew the time was ripe for Myrtle to leave this earthly life and be in His heavenly abode.
The Lord has welcomed her with open arms, saying “Welcome, my good and faithful servant, Myrtle”.
