Raye and family,
I am sorry for the loss of Merrill. All my life I have considered you guys my family. I remember the get togethers we used to have out there by the house. Dad told me lots of stories about Merrill and grandma always looked at him as a brother. I am blessed to be able to see him in the hospital shortly before he past. Ill never forget the smile on his face when I told him that I was Vada's grand daughter. He had a great heart and that made him the great man he was. Take care and know we are always here for you.

We are so sorry for your loss. Merrill was such a wonderful man and a great neighbor. Bryce and Kim will especially miss him. He always helped us when we needed him, whether it was mechanicing or with hay or the water or animals. Rysta doesn't know what she would have done without him on some of those snowy winters when Kim was out of town. If you need anything, please let us know. You are all in our prayers.

Jim and Kathy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will really miss your dad. Take care of yourselves.
Love, Cheri

Dear Kennedy family,
