I'm not sure you remember who I am, but I am the oldest daughter of Merlin Bartholomew Fryer, son of Earn and Ella Bartholomew Fryer. As I read this notice, I remember spending time with cousin Phyllis when you lived in Bountiful at 200 West, just across from the cemetery. I grew up just up 1950 south. As I small girl, I remember my mother (Patricia Rae Prout Fryer) spending time with her. She was always so kind to me and I remember her showing me what a whirlwind was as she was watching me once when my mother was running errands. I know this has been many years ago, but I will never forget her kindness and love. Her beautiful smile and her concern for a small child will never be forgotten and her memory will live on through these simple acts of kindness. She has touched my life, and subsequently the lives of my children as well. Please know of our love and sympathy for all of you at this difficult time, but know your sweet mother and wife is one of the choice angels of Heaven now-and she will still be with you and will live on through you.



Again my love and sympathy at your loss-Mericia Fryer-Milligan
