Add Your OwnMr. Edsel, Debbie and Family, Sweet, sweet Ms. Addie Merle......always looked after us. It seems like it has been such a long time since we were able to go visit with she and Mr. Edsel and sit down and talk. We always enjoyed listening to her recap the days of old. Please know that we loved her so, so much and we are praying for strength and comfort for all of you. She was a homecoming queen here on earth and now she is a queen in Heaven. How awesome is that!
Love and prayers. Sarah and Mike Vickers

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Addie Merle. What a beautiful woman of faith she was. I have so many fond memories of her and her teaching us at church and also those beautiful songs we all enjoyed with her and Edsel and uncle Jimmy. She was a mentor to us and not only taught us about living a Christian life she also modeled it before us. Many prayers for you all during this time.
So sorry for your loss, My Mother and Father thought the world of Mrs. Addie Merle, They were Foy (Mott) and Bessie Gilley.Again we send prayers to your family during this grieving time.
We are so sorry to hear that Addie Merle has left this earth and we know that you will miss her so much. But we do know she isn't having to suffer any more. We are so sorry we could not be there today. Please let Edsel know that. You all are in our prayers and we will continue to pray for you. Edsel and Addie Merle are very special to us.
