Myrna Smith - Sad News

[Tony Trout]

As we all know, Myrna Smith has been in declining health for some time now....I received this update in my email this morning:

Dear All:

This is a hard email for me to write. Myrna is still in the hospital & I found out last night that hospice has been brought in. This means that dialysis treatments have been stopped and no other life support procedures will be implemented. I visited Myrna last night, it is very hard indeed to see her like this. But, I do believe this is what is best for Myrna, because for some time now she has been existing (not living), & she has been getting progressively worse. I will do my best to keep you updated. Please keep Myrna in your prayers.

Please Note: (i) Please don't send cards or mail to Myrna at the Canyon Oaks Center address at this time. Myrna's friend Diane will pick up the mail accumulated there & we will read it to Myrna. (ii) At this time, I don't know what Myrna's immediate financial needs will be, so you may want to hold off sending checks to Myrna's account at Premier America Credit Union until I know & can inform you. I do promise that they money so lovingly donated will continue to be used only for Myrna's expenses.

I feel priviliged that I got to see her perform live at the Elvis In Concert in London in February. I also loved her afro hair in TTWII and the smoking whilst singing - so 70s! Such sad news, I'll be thinking of her and her family over Xmas.
