Meriel

Meriel, a Welsh name meaning "little Mary" was born on September 21, 1949. In her teenage years, Meriel used to chuckle about her name, saying that "little Mary" was ironic, once she reached the height of 5 ft 11 in.

A placid and easy child, Meriel was known for being very determined, even stubborn. She had many talents. She was sensitive, artistic, athletic and an excellent student. Life had many ups and downs for Meriel.

She left this world on February 3, 1977 at the age of 27. I think of her every single day.

"Cheeeeeeeeese"

It must be England - look at the clouds.


These little teddies went
everywhere with her. One was
black and white, and the other
was pale
blue and white.


As a child, she liked the camera.

In this picture, she is either
posing, or showing off a new
dress.

When Meriel was determined to do
something, she did it. Snow? Who
cares. I wanna ride my bike!

This was her passport picture,
in September, 1952. She was
about three years old.


For Christmas this year, she got what
she wanted - a cowgirl suit.

Thanks, Santa!
