  • Ruth Manning says:

    I was shocked to read of Merla’s passing at a relatively young age, however, it certainly started the memories of our times together in the old Foursquare Church in Penticton. May God comfort you as you say good-bye to a beloved daughter and sister, and I pray that you will meet again when God calls you home.

  • Bev Campbell (Duregon) says:

    Dear Mrs Lemmon, Brent, Michelle and Family, Barb and Sharon,
    We send our prayers and deepest sympathy to each of you at this very difficult time. Merla was a dear and loyal friend through school. Always smiling, she was independent, kind and full of fun. We clocked many miles together in the Kharmin Ghia! I was privileged to be in contact with her over the years and we had good visits in 2010-11. She was so proud of her Brent and Michelle and her two beautiful grandkids. She will be deeply missed. God bless you. Love, Bev Campbell (Duregon) Calgary, AB

    My condolences to Merla’s family. Merla and I were very close friends in high school and stayed in touch off and on. She taught me to drive in the old green Morris with no first gear. We often stopped at Orv Laval’s Esso station to buy 50 cents worth of gas to get back to the Mission. I last saw her in 2005 but have not spoken to her for a year or so. I am so sad to hear of her passing.

  • Laura says:

    Brent and family, I worked with Merla years ago in Cobourg, and became good friends. She took me under her wing, as I was newly on my own. I just heard today that she had passed away (thru Peggy-her only other friend on Facebook other than me!) and am so sad to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family and I know I will see Merla again one day! I miss you Mer!
