My condolences to the family and friends of this amazing lady... I will miss our chats and having her for a neighbor these last 6 years... I will miss her phone calls asking me to meet her outside so she could give me another of her home-baked goodies... but mostly i'll miss the friendship and fellowship we shared... Rest In Peace Mama T.

I was born next door to this beautiful person she treated us children like we were little angels and heaven knows, we where not anywhere being angels. We moved away after I was about three years old and move to the country kind of lost touch with Mrs. Merkli.

I was 47 years old when I move back to Mansfield Ohio and always thought I wonder if Mrs. Merkli still lives in the same house I knew that she went to church every Sunday and I started going as well when I move back here I kept asking the 7:30 AM parishioners if they knew Mrs. Merkli one day one of the pressure said hey Tony there is Mrs. Merkli I walked up to her and said hi how are you and asked her if she knew who I was and she told me I looked very familiar I told her my name and we were friends from that day forward I will forever miss this beautiful angel that God called to his side God bless your Mrs. Merkli I am certainly going to miss you.
