I just heard about your father I am so sorry. I was so fond of your parents and I thought of them often. I was reminded every day at 2:00 when I was still living in Saint Paul that It was only 17 minutes for me to go to your parents. I have memories I will always cherish.God bless your family.

Mike, Mark, Leo & Gloria-
I am SO sorry for your loss. We weren't supposed to have favorites at Sunrise but I know Merlyn was mine. He made me laugh, gave me great advice and (even though he didn't quite know where he knew me from) he always knew me. Much love to you all.

Dear Mike, Mark, Leo, Gloria and family- Thank you for sharing your dear father (& mother) with all of us. They were a beautiful couple inside & out. Two of God's greatest prolife champions! I envision them in Heaven, side by side, as always. I have two regrets- 1) That I was unable to get your Dad elected to the State Senate. 2) That Scott & I are in Canada & unable to celebrate Merlyn's life with you. Holding every one of you in my heart & prayers. Love, Kathie Elfstrom
