Marilyn Merrick

You know, guys, I never, EVER remember seeing Mimi when she wasn't either laughing or just insanely happy. What a wonderful thing it says about a person when the memory they leave with others is something that positive and uplifting. She was just simply a fun person to always be around. I am SO very happy that she and Mom were able to become so close before she passed away. It meant so much to Mom and I know it meant a lot to Mimi as well. And just when Charlie was finally starting to settle...

I'm glad that your mom was at least able to talk to my mom for so many evenings while she lived across the street. She's with your dad now, and in a MUCH better place.

Dear Melody, Melissa, and Charles,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. She will be missed dearly. She was such a wonderful and caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Melody, Melissa and Charles,
You mom was not only my sister, but she became my best friend. She filled my life with purpose and joy and I miss her terribly. Like a precious gem, she was tossed by the sea,polished by the sand and glistened in the sun,and we were blessed by her brilliance.

Dear Merrick Family,

We are so saddened to hear of your loss. It is very difficult to lose your parents, and we grieve with you. Althought we did not know your mom, she obviously was a beautiful woman who was kind, generous, outgoing, and very loving.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
