I remember Merna from when she & I were both children. My sister, Dawn, was friends with Merna's mother. While they would visit, Merna & I would play as only little girls can do. I was shocked & saddened to hear of her passing, but relieved in knowing we will meet again in Heaven. May all who knew & loved her feel the peace & comfort that can only come from Jesus. God bless you.

Thinking of Merna's family at this most difficult time. Cherish the special memories you have of her and that will get you through. I feel blessed to have known Merna and will miss the special chats we had almost every weekend as she stopped in the shop to see what treasures she could find. She was a very special lady; a true treasure herself.

My sincere condolences to the Kunkel /Isabell family . I grew up with Mike and remember how nice Merna was even when putting up with his antics. A wonderful person gone too soon, but obviously meant for something higher. My thoughts are with you as you celebrate her life, Mick Mosher

I am very sadden to learn of your Mom's passing. Your Mom & Dad were one of the first people I met when I transferred to the Bainbridge Credit Union. What I remember most about your Mom was her sweet voice and beautiful smile. May our Lord comfort and guide you all during your grief journey. I recently lost my Mom and there simply are no words one can say to make you feel better. Hold onto your faith. Unfortunately some things in life are not meant to understand.... only to one day accept and know He had His reasons. God Bless.

I don't know how to put this in words Mom but I wanted to try to post first. This awful unexpected day happened decades too soon and the pain is getting harder each hour but I am trying to stay strong! The Lord works in mysterious ways and we have to accept that this was His plan to take you to your next life, the Eternal one when he did. The biggest gift you gave me beyond life itself was that of Faith and through it I'm somehow going to carry on until we meet again! I love you Mom!
