What can one possibly say about losing an only brother? A little blond kid toddling along…”Come on Little Brother.. let’s go” I miss you so. Rest in Peace.
We are thinking of all of you at this sad time. Merrick was my first cousin, a playmate in childhood and friend in adulthood. He was a such a sweet person, and I wish I could’ve seen him more often.
I remember one time Mr. Truly took my sisters and I to the park and we had a lot of fun! He always listened to classical music while driving. My deepest condolences to your family.
I met Merrick only once – in 1962 at his parents’ house in San Antonio. But, as long ago as that was and as young as I was then, I remember him. He impressed me, particularly with the humor he displayed on that occasion. I have now been impressed with his patients’ statements about his bedside manner and the care he gave them. I hate that you all are facing such a loss.
Our condolences and prayers are with you at this time. Sorry to hear about Mr. Truly.
My deepest condolences to the family. I have known Rick for a number of years. I will always remember his vast stories of Janice and how hard she works, Leigh Ann, the pride and joy of his life, his Dad being in the Army, growing up in Panama and going on cruises with his sister. Ill miss his visits to Corpus Christi when he would visit to be surrounded by friends and invite me over to his RV for food and drinks.
True freinds are rare. Rick was a true freind for 44 years of our lives
Dear Truly family, Mr. Truly was a beautiful person. Celebrate the life he lived and remember him well. I pray God is present in your hour of grief and that you find peace and understanding. Wishing God lifts your heavy heart, Alyssa Sanchez
