Beautiful, Bill....I loved her elegant breakfasts she used to post in the old forum, and the elegant descriptions she posted of clothes she was making...

well said Bill last time I talked to Merme a couple of months ago,, she was laughing and being silly,, she also knew her time was limited and only wanted to prepare Max and give him memories of her laughter and silliness. I'm happy for her that she is no longer in pain,, and doesn't have to worry about dialysis, her heart, her discomfort on any level. Her Body is Whole now, her spirit soars, and her laughter is her music now in Heaven :ding: I too am looking for her newer address,, However I'm not sure anyone would be there,, as Max is more likely at his dads Last Time I talked with Merme that is where Max was staying due to Merme Being so ill and In and out of the hospital so often.

I just talked to Max on FB,, He said he will let us know what the arrangements are as soon as he knows,, I sent him all our love and sympathy and he knows we are all thinking of him.

Last time I spoke with Merme she had to stop several times to catch her breathe. Never had her latest phone number. I remember when I came out of that coma in 2009 my daughter ask me who Mary-El was I told her she said she had called wanting to know how I was and send her love. Not often I cry but I sure am now so bad I can hardly write. RIP my dear friend you are out of pain and walking tall among the angels you are missed so bad by all.

Thanks dodge I just checked again, barb, it is just not been posted yet--I am thinking it might take a few days---we should check back every day or so--I would think it will be up at least a few days before her funeral.

This is What we Ordered From the GardenHelper Friends ~ being sent to the funeral Home in Memory of Merme, Cindy and I decided on this because we all know Merme Loved her French Press Coffee and her Tea. It is Lovely and will Be a memorable Keepsake For Max to have in Honor of his Mother :ding: ![[Linked Image]](http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/2thtek2/teacupflowers.jpg) we got the larger size, tho it looks small it will stand out just as Merme did here

You know, Merme drank her Red rose Tea every night...and I would joke with her about it being something else....and although I know it was really tea she played along with it. Gonna miss that humor.......
