Paul, Todd, & Caitlin. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed all of my conversations with your wife/mother. Whenever she was at W.H.S., I loved spending time talking with her. Her love for Westbrook was abundantly evident. I will miss seeing her around. All of my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Kathy Womer-Zocco, English teacher, Westbrook High School.

My memories of Myrn are just the greatest ever. We went on many Registrar luncheon trips, and as she always called it "ladies luncheons" for many years. We certainly had loads of fun through the years. She was a true friend, and I will always love and miss her.
Rest in peace dear Myrn.

After your long health struggle, now rest in peace. My prayers are with your loving Paul and children. Patty, Tony, Catie and Chris
