I was saddened to hear of the passing of Sister Merrell. When I was a young Christian She and Her family were a great influence on my life.
I knew her as a very dedicated Christian who loved not only the Lord , but her family and friends.She was always kind, and generous to everyone She met.I know She is with the Lord and look forward to seeing her on the other side.
The Merrell Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Mrs. Merrell was a wonderful neighbor and will truly be missed.
Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
I remember all the good times we have shared through the years; the time your dad brought us back from Herington, our visits when you came back to Kansas, our telephone calls. I share your grief. I love you Jean Miller
All my prayers and deepest simpathies to the family.
