Dear family of the late Myrna Altman,
I have known Mrs. Altman all my life. I always looked up to her as a wise and knowledgeable woman. She lived a good long life.
I can recount many times either visiting in the backyard, in her house or her and Lenny sitting at my mothers kitchen table. She will be missed but not forgotten
Rest easy
