I am so glad that Zach,his wife michelle and I went to see him at Herrick Manor back in May. Your parents were very special people and we were very lucky to have them as our neighbors.We all have very fond memories of them as they treated us as their children. Merle and Jim had a very special relationship and I am sure it is a happy reunion in heaven for them. My condolences on behalf of our family. God Bless, Jan

Daughters and Cousns,
We share in your greif and rejoice with Merl in his new home with Evelyn and all the family. We remember so well when he and your Mom, along with Aunt Dessie, came to see us in California. I think it was about 1981. We had so much fun. not too many relatives came that far to see us; So it was very special. Merl always remembered Marianne's lentle bean soup and our visit to the Crystal Cathedral. Great memories. Apostle Paul tells us in Scripture, "Absent from the body, present with the Lord." Don't forget where we are and come see us when you can.

So sorry to learn of Merle's passing. We are out of town and couldn't come to visitation. Merle was a great inspiration to me all the years I worked with him. He taught me things that I use the rest of my life. He will be missed by many.

Karen, Janice, Beverly and families I am so sorry for your loss. But we must remember that our loss here on earth is heaven's gain! Your mom and dad are probably hanging out with my mom and dad right now! How cool is that?! I will always remember you dad as a very happy man with a smile that warmed the entire room. He will be missed by many. Prayers for your peace and comfort at this time.
Love Debi (Morton) Freymuth
