Dear Betty, Ranota , Charlie and Ricky,
The Merriman's and the Smith's ... we were neighbors for years. Ranota and I spent many hours playing Barbie dolls. My brother and Charlie were good buddies . Ricky was always at our door and loved to chat with my Mom (Yvette) Joel and Betty were very good to our family especially when my brother was injured .. Ranota and I spent time at the lumber yard once building a shelf for my room. Betty treated us to lunch and Joel provided all the supplies and paint. One summer they had me out to the camp .. Hearing about Joel's passing flooded my mind with all these memories.. Joel Merriman was a wonderful man , with an equally wonderful family..My deepest and most sincere condolences on your loss..
Sincerely , Kathy Egli
