Steven & Lauren & Girls,
I am so sorry to hear about Mary Ellen. I have been blessed to have known her for many years. She loves you all so much and is so proud of you all. You could see in her smiling eyes how much she enjoyed being with you all. I'll choose to remember her kneeling down with her arms open wide waiting for the girls to attack her with hugs! She is now a beautiful Angel.
Our hearts & prayers are with you.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Smile, for you were blessed with a special gift. The gift of caring for a future Angel. And loving care you gave indeed.
Smile, for you delivered a perfect Angel. A joyful Angel beaming with pride for your job well done. A cheerful Angel wrapped in the warmth and comfort of your tender love.
Smile, for nothing will separate you from your special Angel. Not time, not space...not even death! Just as you were always there for her, she shall always be there for you.
Smile, for You Will Always Have Your Special Angel Watching over You!
