Like Katie and me, there are countless others that are not here today to
express their gratitude for having known Myron, if ever so briefly. All
the people behind the counters, serving us in our busy world. As he paid
his
bill, Myron invariably, quickly divined their inner selves and regaled
them with life affirming comment - often at great length. Their day and
perhaps
their lives were brigthened with a new-found sense of their own worth. Of
course there are all the others who stood in line behind Myron. They were
of two minds - some became indignant with impatience, however there were a
few others who would join in to share a brief moment of human kindness and
understanding. Katie and I would like to count ourselves with those
people. Our world is diminished with Myron's death, but we cherish his life
affirming gifts. - Paul and Katie Weiblen
