My thoughts & prayers are with your families at this time. May she rest in peace. I remember Myrna from a number of years ago while I was coaching the Mosienko Thunder Rollers & she would come to the tournaments that either of the leagues would hold. - Posted by: Margaret Martin (Acquaintance from Special Olympics Bowling (Mosienko Thunder Rollers)) on: Oct 28, 2017
