Merilee Fielding Vassar

Rick,

I know this is so late but i only recently found out. Dawny and I have always loved you like family and have valued your guidance and direction in our marriage more then we can ever say. You are an amazing man who clearly was blessed with an even more amazing wife. While we mourn her passing we have no doubt that she is truly with heavenly father and acting as your family's guardian angel. If there is EVER ANYTHING we can do for you or your family i hope you know to call or text...

Your presence and sense of humor will be greatly missed. We love you so much and thank you for all of your love and the special memories that we have shared together over the past twenty years. We will carry them with us for all of our lives to remember you when you are being greatly missed to think on the fun times and laughter we all shared together as a family. You are forever in our hearts. WE LOVE YOU!

Mrs Vassar was my favorite teacher in the whole world she gave me my best year in school but I know she's in a good place now. I will miss her

We are so saddened th hear this news. My daughter was in Mrs Vassar's 3rd grade class and absolutely loved her! She was an amazing teacher and such an inspiration and we were so blessed to have met her.

My condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry to hear of Merilee's passing. She was a great teacher and a pleasure to have worked with.

My condolences to you and your family. I talked with Merr many times and enjoyed working with her. I would watch over and take her class to the library on Wednesdays. She was an awesome woman! Sending many prayers of comfort your way :)

She lead out with love, organization and ideas for our budding first grade team. (We were all so new and inexperienced.) She was a pleasure to work with and I loved her sense of humor and energy.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

best teacher ever
