Condolence: Dear Helen
I have been thinking about you a lot and hope that 2015 will be a better year for us both.
I will always remember Merrill as such a wonderful "jolly" fellow, he was the first person that I met in the community room at Arden Courts, and he was always smiling.
I am sending you this message from Oslo where I am visiting my family for the Holidays.
Take care of yourself and I send you all my love.
Liv

Condolence: Dear Helen,I was so sorry to hear about Merrill though we have had little recent contact. He was one of the first MLSC members I got to know when he still lived at Arbordeau and introduced me to my first main line girlfriend. We enjoyed many fine doubles tennis matches over our younger years as well as meetings and other sporting events and discussions at MLUC. He will always be in my memory for his uniquely cheerful, positive, intelligent manner that so many of us always looked forward to. I will make sure that people at MLUC know. You have my deepest sympathy.

Condolence: Helen, please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of Merrill. He was always such a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed getting his funny e-mails even after you moved to Florida. You are in our thoughts..... Jacquie Swanson & Frank Serra

Condolence: I met Merrill for the first time when I joined University Lodge No.51 in Philadelphia. Merrill was the type of person who truly liked you before he even met you, he welcomed me into the lodge in April of 2004, and made me feel like I was his brother my entire life. These past few years he has been missed dearly and I am very sorry that he has passed on, but at the same time I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting him and attending Lodge with him. Merrill was truly a mentor to me.
On behalf of myself and the Brethren of University Lodge No. 51, I would like to extend our sincerest sympathies. Brother Merrill will be honored at our next Stated Meeting of the Lodge with a moment of silence and in our Prayer.
Farewell my Brother,
Domenic C. Marcellino, Jr., PM
Secretary of University Lodge No.51

Condolence: Helen, were sorry to learn of Merrill's death. Larry and Sue told of us his fall so we knew it was inevitable.

We didn't have much time to get acquainted with the two of you but we enjoyed what we had.

Our prayers are with you.
