I heard of Aunt Merry's passing yesterday. My heartfelt sympathies to the family. I have not seen any of you for many years but will always remember visiting your home and playing in the basement with the "big" girls! Uncle Charlie and Aunt Merry always made me laugh.

I wish to send you my deepest sympathy, cousins. . I have enjoyed over the years sending Christmas cards/ Birthday cards to Merry and she always wrote something nice to me in my card. I always enjoyed my Uncle Charlie and his wife Merry, they seemed so young and full of life.I remember when Merry jumped out of a plane, a very brave and full of life person. I'm sure she will be missed, Your cousin Margie and Uncle Jerry.
