Condolence: I want to send my condolences to Liz and the family at this devastating time. I know how much Merrill will be missed. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers.

Condolence: I just wanted to leave a little note to let to let Liz and the family know how much I will miss Merrill. He was my sweets taster for 16 years and he never complained about the bombs or the funny shapes that inevitably showed up in each batch. He was the only guy I know that could eat a pound of fudge and a cheesecake all in a 3 day weekend!! He will be missed!!

Condolence: Merrill was a gentle, kind, sweet and lovable man. He would do anything to help anyone. He and Liz made a perfect pair. They loved to camp, the condo at the Ocean and going out to dinner with friends. You will be greatly missed. We love you, PJ & Joe Hardtke
