Merna was a genuine, caring woman with a heart of gold and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. A celebration of her life will be held in Massachusetts at a later date. She will be interred at Bourne National Cemetery with her husband.
She sounds like she was a wonderful woman. You were fortunate to have her for so long. Sending love and prayers to your family Vicky.
I know you are at peace my beautiful mother. I will miss you everyday and you will forever be on my mind. A lot of things I say and do will forever remind me of you. You will live on in me and my children and their children…. XOXO
Reynolds & Dion Families so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort knowing she is with her husband watching over all her loved ones.
Will always remember the good times at Ma and Dads on sundays back in the day. The time my band drove through a snow storm to celebrate/play at auntie Merna and uncle Andys 25th wedding anniversary at the commercial club. Playing an open mic Monday and will dedicate my set to her. My sincere condolences to all of the Dions. Rest in peace auntie.
We are so sorry for your loss. You all are in. My thoughts and prayers.
RIP Aunt Merna. There have been many wonderful times to remember when we all got together.
Susan and Pete, you were so good to your mom. She was lucky to have you both.
