This is not goodbye or the end. Let me tell you my friend. I’ll keep you forever in my heart. Till I see you again; May our song never end. Till then remember this is not goodbye.

These were the words playing for my ears as you took your journey to heaven. I know that you were welcomed there with joyful music and I cannot wait to hear you play again one day.

Love you and miss you always.

Jasmine and Dylan

One of my favourite memories from my childhood was coming up to visit you and grandma. You are very loved and will be remembered by all the hearts you touched. We miss and love you!

Grandson: Mark D. Merriman

You were such a wonderful Grandpa, so kind, loving, and patient.

Love you, and miss you lots

Brittany, Keith, and Kaeley

Rest in peace Grandpa. I hope Heaven is filled with just as many beautiful flowers as your gardens always had, until we meet again. Love and miss you always.

Rest in peace Earl, you raised 5 great children and I am so very fortunate to have Barb as my wife and life partner. I have attached my favorite photo of Barb and Earl on a travel stop during our trip out west.
