Myrna and Savik

On Saturday, April 25, 2009, I sat across the table from Savik and Myrna Ahmaogak at Osaka Restaurant in Barrow. It was their 51st wedding anniversary. We shared dinner together and later I joined them at their home for ice cream and cake.
I sat across the table from Savik and Myrna many times, usually not in a restaurant but in their home, which they kept open to me as though it were my home. They fed me everything from bowhead and caribou to hamburgers and french fries. I'm sure I have pictures from some of these meals, but I don't know where they are.
Today, Myrna was buried in Barrow. She passed away right after I arrived in Utah.
I was not able to go to Barrow to pay my respect and honor to this generous woman and her loving family, so I pay them my respect, honor and love here.
God bless you all. Thank you for all you have done for me. I am far away in body, but close in spirit.
