I'm sending prayers, hugs yo your family. I've known Merline since 2003 as my daughter Angie Cole and I met him and Gloria at church. Merline talked about how he helped design our church, how it is 18" from your head knowledge to your heart, the rapture, and especially how much God loved me and to never give up. He always said, "we all will praise God when we get to heaven."He gave me one of his personalized pens when I started college. He always had kindness and love for everyone. Merline, you are a faithful servant and I know that you are praising our Holy Trinity, with your beautiful bride, three sons as well as many family and friends.

I will see you when God calls me home. God bless your family 💜
