Sue, we are so sorry to learn of Merlyn’s passing. We will be praying for peace. We are so happy that we connected as you passed through Colorado a few years ago. I am sorry we have lost touch again but the memories remain. The rest of the family (all the brothers also) are being prayed for also. Hugs!!
Our prayers and condolences to the entire Riebeling family.
Sorry for your loss. Merle was kind and had a great sense of humor. He will be missed by many.
Hi Sue, I just wanted to send my love and condolences to you and the family. I’m sorry I can’t be there tomorrow and give you a hug. We still have the beautiful blanket Merle crocheted for us for our wedding and think of you both every time we use it. ♡ Sending lots of love, Krista, Shawn, Curtis and Paityn Adams
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sue, Sorry we couldn’t attend the funeral. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. What good memories we have with our camping trips. I will be writing you. Harold & Darlene Sohl
