Dear Jeannie,
May you and your family find peace and comfort in the fact that you took such excellent care of your Uncle Merritt. He was the nicest person and always had a smile on his face. You truly were his angel and have been there for him ALWAYS. I know how much he meant to you; I am sure he felt the same about you. May Merritt rest in peace and enjoy eternal happiness with his beloved Mary. With sympathy and friendship,
