Mary Cameron says:
Aunt Merilee will be greatly missed. I am speechless even though my memories of her and Uncle Kenny are streaming through my head. I think of Dunhams Solar Hill, the many family reunions scattered from sothern Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Now her beautiful smile will forever shine down upon me until we meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with Lori, Dean, Don, and Glen and their families.
