To the Sisson Family, I knew Mrs. Sisson less than a year. She was in the home with my mother but we struck up a friendship and she was my favorite. I always checked on her when I was there. She had a great sense of dry humor and she will surely be missed.
God Bless you all.

I was sad to hear of Merilyn's passing. She was my supervisor at State Planters Bank, back in the early '60's. Her quiet professionalism and kind words on my first job have stayed with me throughout all these years. May your memories of her bring you comfort at this time.
