Merlin Anderson

After hearing of uncle Merlin's death yesterday I have have had tearful reflection on his influence on my life. I see his life as love, friendship and Christ like service to others. Since the passing of Bonnie he appeared to struggle with living in two worlds. My thoughts today are comforted by the words of a favorite hymn of the members of my missionary years. I sometimes hear it in the US, but it was often sung in the Japanese wards. Hymn #286 Oh What Song Of The Heart. In the hymn it...

I just heard of uncle Merlin's passing last night. I am really sorry to see him gone. He was a big part of my growing up. I will all of you cousins my sincerest sympathy. We will miss him.

But, we I am greatful to know he is with Bonnie and the rest of the family that have passed earlier. We will see him again, and laugh and have good times.

Love, Chuck

Merlin will be greatly missed by our family. He was a dedicated Home Teacher to our family in idaho Falls for many years and he had a positive and lasting impact on our 5 children. We had the pleasure of spending time with Merlin and Bonnie in St. George and will always remember Merlins big smile and warm heart. We've lost a good man.

I was sorry to read about the passing of Merlin. He and I worked for Mtn Bell in Idaho Falls and when I moved to St. George Utah I was able to see him where I work. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by a lot of family and friends.
