    Sarah, Martha, Cathy, and Linda, I loved Merian like my second mother. I loved watching her decorate wedding cakes and birthday cakes. After Buck passed away, she did a great job raising four beautiful daughters. I will miss her dearly. I know the love of her life, your dad, was there waiting for her with open arms.
    Love you all! Mindy

    I have so many memories of this fine lady during my childhood. She was my Girl Scout leader, she baked my wedding cake and I spent many overnights at her house with her daughters. I hurt for her daughters and grandchildren. She raised four lovely ladies.
