I'm so much better for having you as a friend. I miss our talks over food and our short trips. Our trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame will always be one of my fondest memories. RIP and go Phillies.

I worked with Myra as well as being her friend. I lost track of her and I thought she had moved back to Harrisburg. I am sorry I didn't know she was still here as I would have connected with her. She will be missed. She was a special person.

Myra was a DoiT colleague. She was a great individual to work with. She was always a happy colleague. She will be missed. Rob Zimmerman

I was a work colleague and friend. I lived close to Myra and saw her frequently as her health declined. My favorite story involved Superbowl III. Myra made a number of bets with her work colleagues that underdog NY Jets would win, led by Pennsylvania native Joe Namath. On Monday morning, she quietly collected all of her winnings.

Myra was such a delightful person to work with at DoIT. She always brought a smile to my face whenever we got to chat or have lunch. She had a lot of spunk. It didn't help that she was a Penn State fan. 🙂 She'll be missed.

Myra was a such a fun, intelligent and caring person. When you saw that twinkle in her eye, you knew something was happening. I am sorry that the last few years made it hard to see you and were so hard for you. You will be missed. Kathy Neitzel

Myra Reilly was a long-time member of the Badger Stamp Club. Though she was unable to attend meetings for some time, she is fondly remembered, especially for her help in mailing the clubs' newsletters. May Myra now rest in peace! Sharon Brainerd Whitney, secretary Badger Stamp Club

I was working at Doit while Myra was there. She was capable and pleasant to work with. I am very grateful for her efforts in organizing breakfast meetings for Doit retirees. Those were great get togethers.

Myra was such a great person to know. She was a stamp collector and member of the Badger Club. She also was quite enthusiastic about her collections of baseball cards - Brewers and rookie cards. I visited with her at her home several times. Charles Shoemaker
