We Will Remember Myrl Jeffcoat 

 

Quotes by Myrl Jeffcoat from her ActiveRain Blog & Her Comments too:

 

Relationships can change, they can evolve, but they don't need to be destroyed. They can continue to be more treasured with each coming day.


I think the longer we shuffle around this earth, we realize it is the relationships we forge that provide the most treasure.


I have special relationships that are so old that I barely remember when they began.


When I see rocks in landscape, I think of stability and longevity. Flowers sprout, bloom, and die, but rocks never do.

 

The world seems so chaotic now. And it all seemed to change so quickly. I often tell my friends (of the same age) that we were lucky to have been born when we were.

 

No matter how much mischief life may get into, a little walk, bike ride, or even drive to the Parkway, magically transports to a freer mind. Nature sets the world right once again.

 

Even a stuffed turkey should be Grateful for elasticized waistbands. 

 

After I came home last night, I relived all the decades of living we had done. It put me to sleep with a smile on my face!

 

Fairwell Myrl, we loved YOU!

Patricia- all of these quotes reinforce why I loved seeing and reading a post from Mryl. They were written in her own words and shared her life, her family and what she loved doing. This was a lovely thing that you did.

Myrl's heart will live on forever. She was exactly the type of person this ActiveRain was designed for, and she knew how to build relationships with everyone. Across the board, there was mutual respect. 

Thank you.

This was a great loss for our AR Community. Myrl will never be forgotten. She always played well in the sandbox and was simply amazing!

Myrl was definitely "smart and funny and caring." Truly, she was "a wonderful person." Capturing many of her quotes brought who she was to light, and her soul shines brightly. 

Thank you.

Good morning, Patricia... what a lovely "tribute" to our friend, Myrl. She was truly a special person and will be missed very much.

Everyone would agree. Myrl was truly a special person. What AR Support wrote in a comment most recently about why deceased members or inactive names are not removed from this platform is proof. The implementation for this site was well-thought out from the start. 

The essence of her life story was a legacy. It now remains written as an example of how to live within a family structure and a community.

Good morning Patricia. I have special relationships that are so old that I barely remember when they began. And, that summarizes my recollection of when I became a follower! But a follower I was for years. Myrl will be missed forever! Great post in her honor. Enjoy your day.

There is a lot of wisdom in Myrl's ideology, as is yours. 

Myrl was very inspiring and knew the secret to life's happiness. 

Today is the first full moon of 2025. Enjoy your day.

Hello Patricia - what a wonderful way of showing respect for Myrl.  It's a way of reminding us that words can live on.

Michael Jacobs - Sometimes we search for the perfect quote for our blog post. By going back to spend some quality time on Myrl's blog, I found an abundance of wisdom. I wasn't sure how others would react, but I can see by the positive feedback, words by Myrl were widely appreciated. 

She lived a life with wisdom to be shared.

Thank you for your kind comments.

Thank you, Patricia Feager, for sharing such heartfelt reflections on Myrl Jeffcoat’s wisdom! Her words truly remind us of the importance of nurturing relationships and finding joy in the little things—what a wonderful tribute!

Lew Corcoran - I think one of the best take-aways I received from Myrl is how valuable it is to "nurture relationships." Her personal stories that she shared about how the little kids in the neighborhood from where she grew up, learned to love one another, and stay together, through the years was a rare and wonderful example of how to live. 

Thank you for your comments.

Myrl was such a sweet, funny and loving soul.....full of wisdom!  I'm so happy you gathered some of her thoughts and shared them with all of us Patricia.  She is going to be missed.  I raise a toast to Myrl!  That's what she said she wanted us to do! 🍷

Anna "Banana" Kruchten - there is a great photo of Myrl in one her more recent posts sitting with a bunch of wine glasses in front of her. I was going to copy that photo for this post, but decided. not to, in case her family didn't approve. Myrl was a lovely lady, high spirited, wise, funny, serious about enjoying life, and living fully with family and loved ones. Reading many of blog posts and her comments was very rewarding for me. Sometimes, we don't realize just how special people are in the rain, until it's too late. I just had to do something for her and this was the best I could do. 

Let's all raise a toast in her honor, as that is how she would want it to be,

Gloria Todor - this was the only way, and the best way, I could honor her. She did so much for all of us by reading our blog posts that were featured in her Photos Group and/or Old Fart Club. She sure will be missed but her words are documented on ActiveRain. Her legacy lives on.
