Sorry to the Meredith family for her loss. Meredith had a zest for living . We got together at the Moose in milwaukke about two weeks before she died. She was still dancing. with Larry. Meredith and Harvey, my Allan and I went to Hawaii together on a cruise. I will miss her and her welcoming hugs. I was glad to see her one last time, Dorothy

My condolences to all who knew and loved Meredith. She was as lovely and gracious a person as I had ever known. We met her early in our relationship while taking ballroom dance lessons. She always had a kind word and a beautiful smile for everyone. We would see her occasionally at the polls, and always at dances - gliding across the floor with as much grace and confidence as you might expect from a much younger woman. She will be missed in the dance community for sure. May her memory be for a blessing to all who knew her.

Mark, Karen, Cathy and Laurie, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I have wonderful memories of celebrations with all of my cousins. Life was simple back then, good food, celebrations in the basement and kids running around all over the place. Aunt Meredith, from one choir girl to another...sing on in Heaven. It is well with your soul. Hugs,Peggy Camilli
