Dear Merian Family,

It is so sad to hear the passing of your dear wife, loving mother and cherished grandmother.

As a miracle we are brought into the world and in the same way, as a miracle we are taken back to GOD. Mrs. Merian has so many fantastic memories she has left for all of you to remember her by.

Always remember these memories!

OUr deepest condolences to you all!

She certainly will be missed.
