Merrill, Lela I.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I feel the loss of your mother, she was a very sweet, kind and caring person, who also treated everyone with love and kindness. Although I never went to see her, she was in my thughts an awful lot. Her and Earl raised some wonderful girls, whom are as loving and caring as both their mom and dad. May God richley bless you and give you the peace and love you need at this very sad time. All My Love to you all. Jeannie Portlock

I just wanted to say that I loved Aunt Lela very much. She was always so sweet. I remember thinking when I was little how pretty and glamorous I thought she was! I still do. I loved visiting with her when we would run into each other. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
