Lee, I am so sorry to read that your mom passed away. I know how that feels and this is a hard time for all of you. Sending you love and virtual hugs. Take care my friend.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families
I had the great privilege of sharing a home with Merle for a few years. Merle was a delightful companion and we tried lots of things
together, such as, Tai Chi, Opera, Sleigh Rides, and walked many miles with my dog Wally. Everyone who came to the house fell under Merle’s spell and always asked, and cared about her. She really evoked love and care from all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Generous of spirit and blessed with a very caring family (particularly LeeHelen,) who kept a close eye on her mother’s care and needs.
Rest in peace Merle knowing you have left behind lots of family to carry your memory and stories into the future.
