Dear friend and neighbor. We shall miss her. I just learned of her death and send regards to her children and family members. Barb, myself, Nancy Strom and Judy Clark often had lunch together. When she and John lived on Desert Rock we often got together at neighborhood parties. She and John contributed much to our community.

Mark and Jim my deepest condolences on your mother's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember "Let the four winds blow you safely home." love to you both chuck

Jim and Mark...My deepest condolences. Your mom and I were classmates at Brush High School and at Ohio Wesleyan. She was one of the classiest people I knew. Her sense of humor was contagious and I well remember exchanging email jokes over the years. She will forever remain in my heart.

Jim and Mark - I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have such fond memories of her from my growing up years. She was a wonderful part of our family's life for a very long time. And, she made the very best clams casino! My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Jim, and Mark, and families,
My condolences to you all for the loss of your mother. Your Mother, and your house on Hazard Parkway will always remain as a favored part of my childhood memories.

Barb Merrill was one of the "class" of women who settled in Albion during its halcyon years. She was active in the community, her church, the family business, and with her family. She and her peers made it an idyllic place for many of us to spend our formative years in. Level and matter-of-fact, she had a wonderful influence on my life. I am certain she has left a lasting mark on everyone she ever came into contact with. She is in the Lyman Family's thoughts and prayers.

Barb was the epitome of an excellent school librarian. I had the pleasure of working with her at the Albion Middle School and was a big fan of hers. What a delightful woman!

I will remember Barbara as a very proper, always smiling and eager to be helpful in any way.

I played lots of bridge with Barbara and will miss her.
