We had some great camping trips with your Mom & Dad. We miss them both. Becki Jackson rbjhj@aol.com I had the extreme pleasure to work with Myrna through CART/TRPTA, and was so sorry to hear about her illness and passing. She was tough as nails, but one of my favorite people there. She will be missed by many of us. Paul D Loe lonepet02@yahoo.com It was nice working with Myrna and I'm sad she is gone. My best wishes to the family. Bert and Janie Secrist olblu613@yahoo.com To The Children of Myrna Price, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. Myrna was a great lady who will be missed by all who knew and loved her. We have such great memories of your family. If it hadn't been for your Dad's great knowledge in that one white-out, we would still be trying to get off of "two top" or freezing. Your Mother lived life to the fullest. She could find laughter when the rest of us couldn't. I know this is such a loss and a hard time for you, but I know we will see her again someday. Keep the good memories alive. See her in your mind on her snow machine, riding like the wind, trying to make the highest mark on the mountain. (Most of the time she did.) We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. With Love, The Bert Secrist Family; Bert, Janie, Sandy, Judie and Barbie Lois Clarke Clarkeel@comcast.net I am so sad for all of our loss. Myrna is so special that we all will have a hole in our life. Much love to all of you. Colleen Huffaker huff@atcnet.net To all of Myrna and Don’s family, We were so saddened to hear about your mom. Our first thoughts were, ‘she is now with Don and Steve and other family members’, what a happy reunion that must be. But to one’s happy moment comes a very sad time too. We enjoyed your mom and dad both and appreciated the friendship that we shared. We hope that you can feel of our prayers and love. Be sure you all stay close as a family, that is what your mom would want you to do. Have fun together and do all those fun things that they taught you to do. They would want you to continue doing all of those things. They will be right along with you even though you may not see them there. Remember that there is not one single material thing that is worth unkind words or feelings over. We learned this from experience. Just love each other and be strong for each other and be glad that you have the wonderful memories of your mom that you have, no one can ever take those away from you! We hope you know of our love and prayers for your family. We pray God’s blessings on all of you! Dale and Colleen Huffaker
