Merilou loved to talk about fishing and our family had many wonderful memories of her fishing tales. We also loved to visit when she was cooking her prize (fish) and it was so goood!! We will miss her at the Hamilton reunion in the years to come. We all know though she will be enjoying herself by her favorite fishing spot. Love you, Aunt Merilou Posted by Dalene & Allen Hamilton & Edna - Albia, IA - family February 17, 2014
Aunt Merilou was always happiest when her family, immediate and extended were with her. She loved to fish and taught most of us how to sit still and catch lots of fish. I was never very good at the sit still part. She was patient and always kind We will all miss her very much and our prayers are with the family.

So many memories...summer vacations on the farm, making pancakes, baking brownies, riding horses. Aunt Meriou sitting on the banks of her ponds and Babbits pond fishing. She would sit for hours and after supper she would clean and fillet fish for hours all the time singing hymns; When the Roll is Called Up Yonder was one of her favorites. What a beautiful voice, the voice of an angel. Going to church every Sunday. Always a smile or a grin. She is a very special lady, loved by all. What a reunion she is having in heaven. A reunion with the White's, Houser's and the Hamilton's, and Jesus is right there with them. What a picnic. Can't you picture Aunt Merilou fishing with Peter, Andrew, James, John and Jesus. Heaven is sounding sweeter all the time. Posted by Buford and Carol Hicks - Byron, IL - Nephew and niece February 18, 2014
Aunt Merilou was an incredibly patient woman. She would take a bunch of us kids down to the lake and fish and laugh and smile....working with kids, I value the kindness and love she showed us. Not all have that talent, and she surely did. I will miss her smiling face and warm greetings when I am home in Iowa. She was greatly loved.
