It was so nice of Merle to treat us as if we were part of the family the many times we had the pleasure of spending time with her. To the Baer families, we wish we could be there with you at this time.

Merle will be missed by all her friends of which I am one. She was warm, giving and had a great sense of humor.
She fought very hard and did so with no complaints. She was very brave! I will always think of her.
My condolences to the entire family
