Condolence: To the family of the lovely Merle. May you always remember the love and gentleness of him and his smile. I enjoyed speaking with him any chance I could and always waited for that gem he often dropped in the conversation. I can see him driving that gray tractor with it's homebuilt cab right now, driving down those golden streets of heaven, smiling and waving to others as they welcome him to his eternal home. May God bless and comfort you all.

Condolence From: Dr. Betty Webb
Condolence: Tyson and Family: It is never easy to lose a loved one. While we love them so much, God loves them more and as he has claimed your loved one, HE will claim us one day. On that day, we will join him. I pray that you find some comfort in the memories which will always be with you.
My heartfelt sympathy.

Condolence: Dear Irene, I am imagining Merle trying to convince everyone in heaven that snakes should probably be allowed up there. Hugs to you.

Condolence: To the Family of Brother Merle Southard:

We pray that God's promise of eternal life in His kingdom will both comfort and sustain you during this difficult season of bereavement. The Lord reassures his saints that when we become absent from our human bodies, He is making preparation for us to live in His holy presence.
