So very sorry for your loss. I remember why Merry was spelled that way. It was because she was born on Christmas. I hope this is correct. Anyway, she’s gone too soon.

My husband Winston and I aka (Slickwilly) met Merry a few years ago at the outlet mall here in town. Everytime we came to the area we would stop by to shop and visit with her. Merry and Winston both were dealing with their cancer struggles. On the early morning of August 5th we arrived at the mall .We couldn't wait to see her. She was our first stop.We hadn't seen her since February and we had alot of catching up to do. We were too late . Merry, we love you and you will 4 ever be in our hearts and in our prayers. Sonya and Winston (Slick Willy is in the house).
