“I miss her”: Marcedes Myran’s family holding onto memories one year after she was brought home
Global News
The family of Marcedes Myran says the grief of losing their loved one will stay with them forever, but so will the memories.
On the walls of Donna Bartlett’s home hang photos of her beloved granddaughter, Marcedes Myran.
Messages and memories of Marcedes also hang on the walls.
“She made this when she was in school,” Bartlett said, reading a poem by Marcedes hanging on the wall. “It says friends are like family, because they help you when you need it.”
They’re memories that both Barlett and Marcedes’ mother, Pamela Myran, keep close to their hearts.
“I have this little box; we were at the women’s centre and we were painting boxes,” Pamela told Global News. “She painted a heart with little scribbles around it and a music box.”
“She said, ‘When I go, Mom, you’ll always be able to hear my heart,'” Pamela said through tears. “It’s like, don’t make jokes like that… That’s the only thing I kept of hers. My mom has the rest, but that’s what I cherish.”
Marcedes’ family remembers her as a happy and kind daughter, mother, sister, granddaughter and friend. They also say Marcedes, a member of Long Plain First Nation, was a bit of a practical joker.
“I always remember her playing jokes. When I’d go visit them at their mom’s, she’d always hide my purse or my shoes so I couldn’t leave. So when it was time for me to go, they were gone. Missing,” Bartlett laughed.
