Thinking of of you Joanne, Paul and Anthony today as you farewell your Mum.
I remember many happy times that our family spent with the McNeil family.
Special memories of visiting Myra and being served up High Tea fit for a Queen and then the stroll around her beautiful garden.
I know Mum ( Helen Todd ) will miss her chats with Myra and visiting when back in NZ.
RIP Myra.

Thinking of the family today as you Farewell Myra.
Many happy memories of our family times with the McNeils and also visits to Park Street where Myra would serve morning or afternoon tea fit for a Queen. No visit would be complete without a stroll around her beautiful garden.
I know Mum ( Helen Todd ) is going to miss her chats with Myra.
Particularly thinking of Joanne, Paul and Anthony today.

So sorry to read that Myra has passed away... my sincere condolences to her family. She was a lovely lady & amazing for her age... always very well dressed & her hair just so. I enjoyed meeting her up the street & having a chat. I would like to have come to her funeral but unfortunately will be away.

Sincere condolences to all. Myra really was a legend of Rangiora. Impeccably dressed, not a hair out of place. We were lucky enough to be gifted several trays of her famous shortbread, amazing. We enjoyed my time with her over the years, our chats about her garden and also in flower section at the Rangiora Show. With respect, Al Petrie and Su. Jeffcott
