    Sister/Cuz - Rest in Sweet Heavenly Peace. The many memories that we shared and developed over the years are indelible in my mind and heart. To know that you and Doc are together again and forever is a wonderful thing. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek and then follow him. When I reflect on the many things that we shared and times spent together here in Scotia, in Brooklyn and New York, Barbados and elsewhere it makes my heart glad. Pictures and images are worth a thousand words! Inexchangeable! Old Betsy never let us down even after many trips to and fro - EP to NY and beyond. You were a sister that I never had. You and Doc took Trynda as your own and were there for every event. I'll never forget how he'd take her to live plays and concerts on Broadway and leave us home at 519!! Off we'd go to Macy's and shop and then eat. When Trynda, Mom and I flew in, when Trynda was only months old, there were gadgets, including a little backyard - fenced in, and a musical swing set up to keep her engaged. My Lord Cuz, you and Doc were all that and I thank God for you both! We miss you much. Sending heavenly hugs and love to all the family up there. Until we meet again...We'll cherish the precious moments and heartfelt memories. 💖

    Aunt Myrtle was a one-of-a-kind person. I will always remember her beautiful laugh. When she was still living at home I would call her occasionally and laugh and talk for what seemed like hours. I remember as little boys when she came to visit Grandmother how we would just stare at how beautiful she was and that never changed. She always opened her door for me when I came home to visit. Rest in Heaven Aunt Myrtle. Rev. Glenn Daniel Gray, Spartanburg, S.C., USA
