Merriam Rivas-Blumenthal

Our sweet neighbor Merriam passed away on Thursday after battling cancer for two years. She was a blessing to everyone who knew her. Whenever we went over to visit her, she was always praying and welcomed our prayers. She died peacefully in her sleep at home with her husband Ed and her daughter Sandra at her side. 



















Merriam lived quite a life and was very creative. Here is her obituary from the Orlando Sentinel, that tells a little bit of the things she did.

Hi, Carol. I'm really sorry to hear about Merriam. She was such an interesting lady, and I only knew the tip of the iceberg!
