We came to know Royce and John through our "adopted grandmas" Ora Goforth and Viv Miller. They were all shining examples of how we, as human beings, should be. We still, after many years, speak of the lesson of respect for others that Ora and Viv spoke of often. We could see that legacy passed on to Royce through her dedication to her church and family. We continue to remember her fondly.

Dear Meier Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences on your Mother's passing. She was a treasure to us in the Legion of Mary in Tallahassee, and I will always remember singing for the "Rosary Rallies" she began for the Tallahassee Praesadiums. What a powerful prayer warrior she was for the Lord in Tallahassee. I thank God for her wonderful work in our beloved city. God's richest blessings and peace always.

Dear Royce - I'm going to miss you around St Ann's Church - especially on Friday during Adoration of our dear Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Now you've seen Him face to face. You have it made. Love from Dottie Huffman

To the family of Royce D. Meier: we deeply mourn the loss of one of our Carmelites family. Henry had helped her driving to DC to attend her Carmelites meeting in her car once in a while. She was very sweet lady as we remember her. May she rest in peace as she will join her family and Carmel friend, Kate up in Heaven!

In Carmel,

Christine and Henry Cerro

Royce and Paul,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She meant a GREAT deal to me and my family. I got to see her the last time she was in Tallahassee.
