Merry
I have so many things to be grateful for I dont even know where to begin. In keeping it simple, I just want to say thank you for being the best part of my life for the past 15 years. I will miss you much, love you always, keep you in my heart, and never forget you; including all the wisdom and knowledge I have gained(or am at least trying to retain, you know my memory retention isn't always the greatest)from the time we shared together. This is not a goodbye for someday the father will call me home too and while the angels rejoice we'll celebrate as well. So until then my most special and one true friend. In my eyes just knowing you is the greatest blessing the father could've bestowed upon me. YOU WERE,ARE,and definately WILL BE LOVED!!! KNOW THAT!!

Dear Aunt Merry:
I will never forget the plays, mock weddings and all the other programs you and mama put on for us kids at First CME Church. Those are some of my most treasured childhood memories!! You were a second mother to me, and it was always a great comfort to be able to bring you my "dramatic" teenaged issues, and know that you would provide appropriate guidance and help me "break the news" to mama when necessary. Thank you Aunt Merry. I promise that as long as I live, you will never die the third death.
