Dear Emory and family, Sue, J.J. and I are so sorry to hear of Merillat's passing. We were just planning to give you and Merillat a call and bring over our new 1 year old Golden Retriever. Being a Golden Retriever lover, we knew she would love Bella. We have fond memories of both of you in Gunnison. The entire "Camp" will miss her. My family is sorry for your loss.

Emory and family,
We are deeply sorry for your loss,
our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have some great memories of Merillat from our Nine Holer "golfing" days, no high scores among that group but we sure had a lot of laughs! A sweet lady that will be missed by all who knew her.
