She said perhaps her sickness had made Myra a little light-headed . But I said , ` No , Mrs. Murray , do not worry over it . It was just Myra 's way of looking at the bright side . ' '' `` Her sister Luella was just the opposite , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` There was no bright side for Luella -- there was just black and shades of gray . For years she used always to be declaring she was going to die in a week or so . ' I wo n't be here to burden you long , ' she would tell her family with a groan . And if any of them ventured to talk about their little future plans she 'd groan also and say , ` Ah , I wo n't be here then . ' When I went to see her I always agreed with her and it made her so mad that she was always quite a lot better for several days afterwards . She has better health now but no more cheerfulness . Myra was so different . She was always doing or saying something to make some one feel good . Perhaps the men they married had something to do with it . Luella 's man was a Tartar , believe ME , while Jim Murray was decent , as men go . He looked heart-broken to-day . It is n't often I feel sorry for a man at his wife 's funeral , but I did feel for Jim Murray . '' `` No wonder he looked sad . He will not get a wife like Myra again in a hurry , '' said Susan . `` Maybe he will not try , since his children are all grown up and Mirabel is able to keep house . But there is no predicting what a widower may or may not do and I , for one , will not try . ''
`` We 'll miss Myra terrible XXXXX church , '' said Miss Cornelia .
