from Warwick High School days, I so easily remember Myrtle as one of the nicest people that I had ever met - and the same remained always. She truly was a lovely and loving person and sorry to hear about her passing - Sincerely hope that these few words help in some small way to tell you thoughts and prayers are coming your way in her memory...

Myrtle, a classmate from 54 years ago, rode the same school bus as I did in the Deep Creek section of Warwick, and when I saw her name listed in our class's online obituary, the other name that immediately came to mind was Harry Register. So, though I didn't know them very well, I remember them as a twosome and am happy to see that they had many more blessed years together. She was always so sweet and kind, and I think that special loveliness glows in her face. Just wanted her loved ones to know Myrtle is dearly remembered from long ago.

Harry, Susan, and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Myrtle's passing. She was a special lady and fought her battle so courageously. I will miss our many conversations on the beach at the Outer Banks. I hope that you have lots of happy memories to help you through this time of grief.
