Sorry for your loss Joann was a very nice woman that i bowled with and enjoy seeing her when she was able to att church iam going to Miss her.
Joann was such a great person. She will always be loved and missed by everyone. I am so Thankful that I got to know her, and so glad that we went to visit her in July 2010 when we went to Michigan on vacation. We shared memories of Buck, family, and of her grandchildren. We laughed about Brittany's friend that only Brittany could see, as my Tiffany had the same friend. I will treasure the Christmas card Joann sent in 2011. Liz, Amy and family, you were so lucky to have her as long as you did, now she is in a better place, free from pain and rejoicing with your Dad. They are both Happier than they have been in over 10 years. As Tim and I both have said, If she didn't have something nice to say, she didn't say anything. She was truly one of a kind. Glad that we sent her flowers while she was living. Love you Joann, Lois, Tim and Tiffany
Knowing Grandma Merriman was a pleasure. I always thought of her and Grandps like my own. Long trips with Miah, playing games with the boys in the living room, Grandpa in the chair and Grandma filling our belly's. Its feels good knowing that the 2 of them are together again and watching over all of us now. We will always love both of you and feel blessed to have known you. Thank You for all the great memories.
Love Always,
Jerry Stein and Family
Dear Liz and Troy, Amy and Jeff, Grand children and Great Grand Children, Sister Betsy and Gary and Sister-in law Gina:
I am so sorry for the loss of your loving mother and grandma. May all of your wonderful memories sustain you and remain in your hearts forever. She was one special person who loved each and every one of you so very much. May God hold all of you in His loving arms and give you peace.
Safe in the arms of Jesus and free from pain was our prayer for you. You will be so missed by your six card buddies but we have years of memories of you to give us comfort, smiles and peace to know you are now in a better place with Buck, your mom, dad and brother. Keep the cards close by until we all meet again.
Love and will miss you, Maureen
Dear Liz, Amy and Family,
I am thinking of you at this time and my prayers are with you. Your Mother was such a wonderful person and always a positive attitude! Now she is in Heaven with Grama Start and my Dad, maybe Grama brought her records to listen to on Sunday's. :) Take Care
