    My condolences to the Bostian family. I remember her whole family being active members of Wilmar Baptist in past years. She had a great variety of pot plants and freely shared. Such a sweet lady.

    Aunt Myrtle's late husband was my grandmother's brother, but I got to know them better when I lived next door for a year back around 1980. Aunt Myrtle was a wonderful neighbor and very kind to me.

    She was an exceptional seamstress and it wasn't unusual to see a UAM cheerleader uniform or two under construction in her sewing room.

    May God comfort her loved ones.
