Thinking of all of you during this hard time and remembering all of the wonderful adventures we spent together. So many summers at the farm, dinners together and nights I spent at your place. In later years my kids have special memories of Uncle Connie & Aunt Ann coming over for Holiday dinners. Such special times! I'm so thankful that Cathy and I were able to visit with him and see that beautiful smile before he became ill. My heart is full though sad. Hugs & prayers, all my love, Connie
Merpt will always be with us in our yard in Toivola. He started us out the purple iris bulbs 45 years ago and now there are what we call Purple Meets all over our yard.
What a great friend we will miss him always..

Thinking of all of you during this time. I know how tough it is. I still think about calling my dad..... Wow, what a long wonderful life. The Mertely's have longevity in their blood, that is for sure. I remember all the Sunday's we spent at your house. I loved going there and doing all the fun things you got to do in the country. I always wanted to live on a farm with six kids, glad that didn't happen. Four is certainly enough. I remember going to Pitt Pac and visiting your dad at work. Catching a ride to Gramma's or your house, or him bringing me home after a visit. I am glad that Connie and I visited with Uncle Connie and Bonnie just weeks ago. He looked so great, way younger than his 97 years. I am sure he is busy talking stocks with my dad or something financial.
Hugs and prayers to all of you, love, Cathy
