Mrs. Shoupe's family published this testament in the Enterprise this week

On Sunday, May 14, 2006, she landed safely in the arms of Jesus. She lived her life to the fullest. She had a heart of gold and taught us all so much during her time here on earth.

She taught us to celebrate life, to walk in faith, to never give up and to always believe in miracles. She touched many lives by her weekly column in The Manchester Enterprise.

We would like to give thanks to The Manchester Enterprise for the beautiful spray of flowers that covered her casket. Thank you to the Horse Creek Holiness Church for the meal the night before her service and the flowers. Thank you to the Horse Creek Baptist Church for the wonderful meal at the church after her funeral service. Special thanks to Rev. Ernest Sibert for leading the service, to Beulah Kemp who sang at the service and to Rominger Funeral Home who did all the arrangements. We would also like to thank all of those who gave flowers and cards.

She was a most precious gift from God. The amazing Myrtle, she will live in our hearts forever.
