To the family of Myles McDermott:

My deepest sympathy I send to you in this your hour of sorrow. I worked with Myles at Reynolds Metals in McCook and he was a great guy. He was sorely missed when he retired. He was always ready and willing to help everyone, he always had a nice disposition and I found it a pleasure to know him. To the family...please know that he is with his Heavenly Father and all is well. I will include you in my prayers that God will bless you and keep you and give you strength to endure as you make final preparations for Myles. The days ahead may be bleak but remember that God loves you and all you have to do is call on the name of Jesus and you will be comforted. My best to you.
