To the Merrick Family,

I was so saddened to hear about your great loss. The years just flew by so quickly. He was such a wonderful husband and father and such a good friend to all who knew him. He sure kept everyone laughing over the years. I have such fond memories of him while growing up. I always felt like part of your family whenever I was at your home (which was quite often -- ha ha.) Thank you for that and thank you for all the wonderful memories that I still cherish...
