Although she was my mother-in-law, I regard her as probably the best mother-in-law any one could ever hope for. She was kind, generous, and always extremely happy to see me when I came to visit. She was also very loving towards my daughter Becky and her husband John, and her children Lilly and Olivia and my dog Lloydie and regarded them as always part of the family. I love that about the Mercreadys, Andersons, and the Young family.
I am extremely fortunate because she raised a wonderful son (my husband Mark); who probably took after her with her kind, gentle and patient nature. I have also regarded Pam, Beth, and Peggy my sisters-in-law, as probably the best sisters-in-law and lovingly accepted me when I came into the family. Along with the nieces and nephew and brother-in-law Ralph, I have come to love this family as my own.
Mom, Mark and I will miss you tremendously. We love you always and will never ever forget you. Thank you for everything!
Mark and Marissa
