Phyllis: I was reading the obits in the 10/13 "O" issue for guidance (my older sister) and my eyes landed on your name, then I realized what I was reading. I send my sincere sympathy to all of you....I tried to get in touch with you when Don passed and asked about you at Carmella Pounder's service. I'm your old tole painting student Edie Linstad--86 now, and still active but can't paint due to tremor. I divorced, married a retired Naval officer and had 20 happy years with him and gained...

Bruce, I was shocked and sadden to hear about Merlie's death and your loss. We missed you both at the Mac Cub water aerobics class and I have very fond memories of many chats with Merlie in the pool. I will keep you and family in my prayers.

So sorry to read the news of Merlie's passing. Was out of the area last Saturday so could not pay our respects in person. She was a beautiful, caring lady who will be greatly missed. Marilyn and Jim Allan

Dear Bruce, So sorry to hear of Merlies passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers my little freind. God bless you both.

Merlie was a classmate of mine forty-four years ago and I saw her briefly in 1970. Time and distance cannot separate friends as I heard of her passing in Arizona. We grieve, but not as those who have no hope. I am deeply saddened over her loss. She will always be remembered by us with great fondness. "Death lies on her like an untimely frost, upon the sweetest flower of the field" ...Shakespeare

Bruce,
Our prayers go out to you. Merlie was a delight to know at those brief glimpses we had at reunions.God be with you.

So sorry to hear of your loss; I knew Merlie through my work life with Paulsons, and Bruce as my attorney. My heartfelt condolences to all the family.

Phyllis and Suzie: I was so shocked to see Merlie's obit today. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a lovely person; I was so glad she kept in touch with my Mom and I thank you guys for coming to the memorial last November. It was great to see you all. You're in my thoughts; condolences to all. Take Care, Love Nancy (Dow)
