To The Kids......
For sure you will miss her -she's always been there..
You'll hear her voice in your head.
She'll be your first thought when you open your eyes..
And your last as you go to bed...
But know that she watches over you,her soul no longer to roam..
And Angels are singing in Heaven because one of their own has come home....

Mary Ellen has been like a second mother to me for over twenty years. she welcomed me into her home and family, where i was never treated by her as anything other than a daughter. her tremendous strength in all she did was amazing. she was the glue that held us all together as we became adults , raising children of our own. the thought of going on without her is too impossible to imagine. i ask that god help us all push forward and let us have just a little of the faith in him that she had. my only peace of mind is knowing that due to her faith she has been welcomed into the kingdom of heaven with her son and other loved ones and one day we will see her again. until that time i pray that we all continue to draw our strength from her.

I'm so sorry to read of Mary Ellen's passing. I'd always thought of her as a very special person and a mother who definitely loved her children and grandchildren. My husband and I always enjoyed the many invitations we received to join Mary Ellen and her family in celebrating the many special occasions in the lives of her children as they grew to become adults. She will be missed more than ever by her many friends...
