Todd, Karen, and the McDougal family,
I am sorry to hear of your father’s passing Todd, especially so unexpectedly. My sincere sympathies. I’m sure your dad has rubbed off on you with your fun personality. Keep the memories close to your heart, and continue to live life to the fullest. That’s joy for our parents. Sending prayers.
Sorry to hear about this. I met Merle a couple of times in the past. The McDougal family use to be our neighbors back in the 70’s when they lived next door to us on Fenner Rd. Miles was one of my best friends growing up (he was one of a kind!!!!)I remember your mom and dad and Milton and the Margie and Marsha. I spoke to Merle at the funeral home a few years back. I still remember that Ford Galaxie he use to have. Again my heart goes out to the entire family and may God watch over all of you.
Marilee, Scott, Keith, Todd and family,
Dan and I would like to send our deepest sympathies to all of you. Merl was one of the kindest,most generous men you could know. Always ready to give a helping hand to anyone that needed it. He will be missed by all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
