“I am sad that the world is a little less beautiful, and a little less kind, with her exit from it.
Mert had a harder row to hoe than many, and she still lived her life with such grace it is something for all of us to live up to.
I chatted with her after the passing of my brother Howard, on and off. It was as if the years and distance disappeared. She was the same caring loving giving person for her entire life.
Happy trails Mert we will all miss you.
Condolences and Best Regards T. Greg Petersen ”
