Myrtle

  I found out today that Myrtle died yesterday.  Myrtle was one of my customers, one of my nicest customers...she was lovely!  She always had a smile and a word of kindness, always wanted to talk and would make time for chatting.  Se would ask how we were, and how the job was going, she was one of the nicest people I've met.  I will miss Myrtle.  She had a stroke about 3 weeks ago, a bad one that left her without speech, we sent a card and some flowers to wish her well, but I suppose it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened. 
  Hoylake seems to be cursed at the moment, the nice people suffer and/or die and it's just not fair.  They say only the good die young, Myrtle wasn't exactly young, but she should have had a good few years in her yet, the two young men that were killed in the crash on saturday night, had their whole lives ahead of them but for one silly mistake while driving, Joyce's Husband, John, a lovely, friendly man who didn't have a bad word for anyone, died a few months ago after an illness.  It's depressing, and slightly worrying that Hoylake seems to be a black spot for unhappiness at the moment.
  I was upset to hear about Myrtle, and I was sad for the rest of the day.  I went to Pete's after work tho, and he cheered me up.  He's good at that (amongst other things ;-)), and I do feel better now despite what this post might sound like...  I was bad tho and ate a couple of sweets and some skittles.  Evil temptor that he is :-)
