In my life I have met a lot of people and have had a lot of friends. I have in all these years never met anyone with a heart as big as his. I doubt he can even remember or would tell you how many people he has helped in his life because that is who he is but to me and my family I do know.
Merle is a special friend and I would not be able to tell you how much he has heled me. I know I can never tell him enough how much I appreciate him.
I wish everyone could see his flowers. He is so good with flowers and then also his Koi fish ponds. Just walking through his greenhouse you would just not want to leave. He can make anything grow, I tell you he can put a leave in a pot and grow something beautiful. Just in the short time I lived in Florida just being around him I have learned so much about the beautiful flowers he grows. Now the names of them I can't tell you but I grant you he can and he knows the name of every flower in this world (smile) I think. I dont mean just the name we know the flower to be but the name the really long names. (smile) I would say that his life is his flowers and his beautiful yard where he spends most of his time. This is just s peek into the life of this really special man. This time I have spent in Floridsa will be memories to add to the rest of my
memories that will last forever. Florida is really beautiful and like being on a vacation but I miss Oklahoma and hope to be back there soon.
