Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to Merrily.

Thank you all so much - so well done. Beautiful memories of a beautiful person. Bonnie Kroon

This has been a wonderful opportunity to remember Merrily, and to get to know more about her life. I remember a number of chats with her in the aisles of the grocery store, where we talk about books and politics, and everything in between. Thank you for sharing your precious memories, David and family.

Thank you so much for this beautiful time together. Love Joanie Stark Laughrige
