Mercer Oast

Ten years already that an unforgettable and unforgotten friend has left us. We still keep best memories of good times with a wonderful person. Gerhard, Dorothee, Feli und Ise, from Germany

Sharon, so sorry to hear about Mercer. In his memory I purchased amendments and tilled a garden for a family who recently became unemployed. We dedicated the garden to him. Hopefully, this will help feed them during some rought time. I know this would have pleased him. I loved Mercer, he was a great person (kid)

Dear Sharon, Katherine and Courtney,
David and I are still in shock over the news about Mercer. Oh how we loved him! He was the closest family I ever had in Elizabeth City. He will never know how much it meant for me to have someone I grew up with and knew as a child in the same town with me. It was so special for me to visit with him and we would talk about our times growing up in Portsmouth and all the people we knew.
Just to be in Mercer's presence would make me laugh and put a...

Sharon and the Girls:
I have such fond memories of you and Mercer in Suffolk and Portsmouth. You two had the greatest love story. I watched it develop in High School. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult days. Keep the faith.
