Marlin,
This is Cathy Simpson. My youngest son, Marlin was named after you - remember? You were the only Viet Nam veteran that Ivan and I ever knew and we were so proud and honored to know you so we named our son Marlin. He has been asking me about you. He is 40 years old now and sometime would like to meet you again. I introduced him to you when he was very little, but he doesn't remember that. Anyway, I thought you would like to know. Steve Chapman and I live in Des Moines, IA. Take care and thank you for honoring and remembering Merle.

Sheryl and all the Simpson family. I am a classmate of Sheryl's. My name is Ellen Schroeder Essick. I spent lots of nights at your house and you guys gave me this little white dog named Snowball. She was the love of my life. My deepest sympathies are with you at this time of your great loss. It is very hard to lose your dad I know. I pray the Lord will be with you and comfort you in this time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Ellen Schroeder Essick

Lots of great memories of hanging out with Merle and the Jerseys when I was a kid. When he got that sparkle in his eye "LOOK OUT". He was full of fun.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Marlin and Betty Wolter.

My deepest sympathy to all of Merle's family. While the years of our close ties have past, life on the Milky Way Farm and with G'pa Merle are close to my heart. I will miss Merle and will always remember with happiness how he always made me smile. My prayers are with you during this difficult time and sharing with you today that "He was just THE BEST".

So sorry for your loss, we can look forward to the day when God promise in his Word the Bible that there will be a resurrection of the dead back to life right here on earth in peaceful and paradise conditions, and we can be here to welcome them back, and can live forever upon it in righteousness, ( John 5:28,29/17:3; Psalm 37:29 and Rev. 21:1-5) May the peace of God be with you at this time.

Merle your time is now over, your work all done,
its time to out your tractor in the shed.
Your years were not easy,
and many so hard,
but your faith in God has prevailed.
Put away your pliers and sleep in peace,
for your fences now are all mended.
You & Leona have raised a fine family
and they to follow your lead
Of hard work and faith in our Lord,
they will cherish your every deed.
We know not many to follow your journey through life,
it was a hard and stoney way,
of the early mornings, and late nights of work to milk the cows.
But the sun has now set, the cows are all milked,
and here now is the end of your day.
Take off your gloves and wash off your boots, your labor here is done,
You can now rest in heaven,
Your family will cherish your land, and take care of your work,
Your legacy lives on,
your love of the land and farming,
and they will close the gate.
Rest in Peace Merle.
So many stories of your life, and your friendship we will always remember you sharing with us. God Bless your family Leona
