Our deepest sympathy goes out to all the family. She was a very sweet person. We enjoyed knowing Merle and Carolyn for a lot of years being a part of the bingo bunch. We had a lot of fun get togethers for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and whatever else occasion we could think of. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
