  1. Rest in peace Merle Burns. You were a fantastic neighbor who kept a “keen” eye on all the happenings in Bacova. You were our closest and longest neighbor of 48 years. When work took me away from home and I knew you were the best to keep an eye on our place. My kids, Ernie, and I loved you and your whole family. Know that we uplift all in prayer and will have nothing but good memories to share.

  2. I just read the obit in the Recorder and want all of you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Both your mom and dad were good neighbors to us in Bacova. I hope that you are all well and strong for each other. May God continue to shower his blessings on your family.
    Sincerely,
    Sue Campbell
