I’ll miss her passion for life and her genuine love towards family and friends. God Bless.
Merle was a true lady and will be dearly missed. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
Merle was indeed a very caring lady. She was always thinking of others. Merle was very proud of her family. She loved with all her heart her daughter, sons, and her extended family. She was overjoyed with all her love she had for her grandchildren. Merle was a very proud person. In turn, we are all better individuals for having known her. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten. GOD has a special place for her in his kingdom. May GOD bless all her family/friends as she has blessed us.
My family’s thoughts and prayers are with you.

Merle – Such a beautiful lady! She was gorgeous, intelligent, strong, caring, loving, genuine—what more can you ask for in a woman? She was loved and always will be by the many people who were lucky enough to meet and know her. My prayers go out to all of you who are affected by her passing and if anyone ever needs ANYTHING, know that I’m here for you.
To Merle: You just MOVED! I look forward to seeing you again someday.
It is with deep regret that we read the obituary for our dear friend, Merle. Our deepest sympathy is with you all. With love, Rod and Darlene
Grandma Merle, I thank you for being a loving and caring grandmother as well as my best friend. Some of my best memories are when I was able to spend the night at your house and you took care of me. You always made sure I was well fed and there was always plenty of food at your house. I always liked it when you made your homemade Jello and Chocolate pie. You also knew my favorite beverage milk and you made sure I had plenty of it. I loved spending time with you and being within your presence. I want you to know that you’re a part of me that I will never let go.
Love always, Johnny
