Merle Cook

Merle W. Cook

Remembering a special husband and dad,

Merle Cook,

with love at Christmas.

Thinking of you this Christmas

And how nothing’s quite the same

Because there’s only heartache now

Sadly no nice gifts for you.

Just silent tears that fall

For Christmas time without you is the hardest ten years of all.

The pain of losing you seems to linger still

There’s been a space that no one else can fill.

We love and miss you,

Cookie, Christine, Justyn,

Dickie, Ginger and Brian
