A day after Myrtle was found dead, her other son and Sergio’s brother thanked supporters on Instagram. “Thank you, everyone, for all of your outreach, help, love and condolences,” Nick Brown wrote. “It’s a sad but hopeful time, and we will all get through this together. Mom always told me, ‘Tough times don’t last’ and our last conversation about tough times being temporary is my beacon of hope.”
He continued, “Mom, thank you for being strong, caring, diligent, fancy, funny, and for saving my art. I won’t let you down.”
