To my Always and Forever FIRST Second Family, the MERRICKS!  The strong WATSON and MERRICKS family bond we created when first meeting in Alameda, CA is one that has been a BLESSING beyond words!  Our parents, Haywood & Helen Merricks and Leorange & Carrie Watson have given us such a WONDERFUL legacy of Family, Friendship and LOVE between both families.  My HEART and SOUL are with you all, at this time & always, for your loss of Mrs. Merricks.  Just remember, it's simply a physical loss, because her beautiful Spirit, Smile and LOVE will be with you always.  I say this from my experience of losing Mother (Mrs. Watson - Carrie).  To this day, I phyically miss her but her Loving Spirit is so comforting!!!  I could go on and on, but I'm going to end by saying, "My ALAMEDA MEMORIES are worth a GOLD MINE!!!  GOD IS GREAT! Forever and always I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!!!

My "Alameda Family"....I love you all so dearly....Mr. Merricks, Vivian, Shirley, Haywood, Charles, Ronnie & Kenneth....words cannot express my sincerest sorrow for the loss of such an awesome woman - a wife & mother - Just know that she has only left you as a physical being but spiritually SHE will always and forever be with you!  I will always remember her and the times we talked about me "pushing Chubby out of the window"....and calling me "Jeanie".... It was cloudy and rainy here in L.A. but as the sun came out I knew Mrs. Merricks was making her way to the heavens to hook up with my mom so that they both can continue to watch over us!  I love you all...
