Dear Laura and family,
We would like to express our thoughts and prayers during this time. We are glad your mom found peace in her life and forever.
Joe, Tara, and family.
I am so sorry for you loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Kenny, Asa, Laura and Anna! Our hearts break for you all. But at the same time, we know who you are and more than that, who you trust, where your hope lies. God has used you in wonderful ways in the past and the future will yet show all He has in mind for your family.
Kenny, in particular, know that you will not be forgotten. Your name is on the bathroom mirror and it will stay there….you will be prayed over many, many times.
We love you very much. Wish we could be there. Sometime, we’ll come again.
I never had the privilege of meeting Merrie. Many members of First Baptist Church in Boaz, AL did meet Merrie and loved her and Kenny.
I can fully sympathize with all of the family. My wonderful husband passed away May 3, of this year. My heart is broken, but I know that he is in a better place.
God be with you all.
I LOVE YOU, Merrie
Wish with all my heart that I could be there to hug and share comfort with each of y’all!!!! Love you all, Aunt Gay
We are so sorry for your loss; we are blessed to have known Merrie! Each summer after spending a week working in Pablo and Arlee, we were blessed and humbled at the love Merrie and Kenny had for the folks in that area and their deep love for our Lord!
We know that she hated to leave you, but yet so thrilled to be with her Jesus! I think we all need to “be in love with our Saviour” like Merrie….
You are in our thoughts and our prayers….
Love, Jerri and Doug
Kenny and family,
Our hearts go out to you in this season of sorrow, even knowing that we who name Jesus as Lord, shall be reunited again someday. May God’s peace, which indeed surpasses our understanding, hold you up, as you go forward from this season of sorrow. I firmly believe that like in the case of Lazarus passing before Jesus got there, He is weeping with you in these days.
We will continue to uphold you in prayer.
Marvin and Laura Bjorge and family.
My faith and hope is inspired by the lasting impression Merrie has on my life. I give thanks for her witness and her encouragement to read from God’s word daily.
To Kenny & Family, I am so very sorry for your loss! I met Merrie her senior yr. @ White Station H.S. I lost contact with her a few years later & reconnected via Classmates around 10 yrs. ago. A very beautiful (inside & out) Lady. Optimistic, positive, always thinking of others with a deep Love for the Lord! She will be missed by so many! My thoughts are with you…….
Kenny and family; may everytime you look toward heaven and see the brightest star shinning be comforted in that Merry is looking down to you with her beautiful smile. Our hearts reach out to you in your time of grief.

Kenny – a simple condolence doesn’t seem like enough, but please know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Kenny, I am sorry to hear of Merries’s passing. She was a remarkable lady who will be missed by everyone that had the privilege to know her. I will never forget the first time I met you and your family, and all the fun times we had when you would bring the kids into Pizza Hut. You have an amazing family that is filled with love from both you and Merrie. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time. Lynda
Just know our love and prayers are with you at this time and always.
Somewhere there is no sunset,
Somewhere it’s always dawn;
Somewhere no clouds obscure the blue,
Somewhere each shadow’s gone!
Somewhere there is no parting,
Or sorrow, tears, or pain
And there your loved one waits the day
When you will meet again!
“The Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow.”
Isaiah 14:3
Psalm 116:15
God Bless you

Dear Kenny, Asa, Laura, Anna and Sergey,
May God comfort you during this time. She loved you all so very very much.
Merrie and I met in the seventh grade and I have been truely blessed to have known her. We kept in touch and sometimes months would pass between our talks. The next time we spoke it was as if no time had passed at all. It is truely a God given gift to know someone for 40 years and have nothing but pleasant memories but Merrie had that quality about her.
She will be missed. She has left a great legacy for us all in the way she lived.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Tim and Carolyn
I hadn’t seen Holley since high school but remember her laughter and smiles. She was one of the happiest “Spartans” to be around. She will be missed by all.
Pastor our hearts go out to you. It seems the servants of the Lord sometimes seem to hurt the most. But we keep looking to the author and finisher of our faith. God bless you
The Zimmer Family

My prayer is that God will continue to comfort you with His great love and that the strenghth of your faith will guide you through this time of grief. My heart and constant prayers are with you…….Debra
Dear Kenny & Family,
What a very beautiful, holy and gracious woman Merrie was. She touched my heart so deeply and lived her life so faithfully…she was always an inspiration to Don and me. To take the time to minister to others, even during her own time of need, was such a gift, and one that just came from her heart. What a deep missing for each of you…what wonderful memories for all…what solace to know that she is with Our Lord and united with Jordan. I am with you in love and prayer during this very difficult time. God Bless
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. You can find much comfort in the Holy Scriptures which assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
