My memories of Ellen and Marsha are of small children, smiling faces and lots of patience. Im sure Ellen was waiting for Marsha last year. They were more than co- workers, they were friends monitoring mini breakdowns and sticky fingers. Together they were the dream team for pre schoolers. The world is a little less bright without these beautiful genuine women. Im sure Ellen is watching over her children and grandchildren from above and smiling at the beautiful legacy she left. God Bless!

Dear Becky,
I recently heard about your mom. She was a wonderful woman. We met a few months after Jessie was diagnosed with diabetes. She and I shared many stories about having babies with diabetes as well as sharing things that worked or did not work for us and you two girls.
Your family has experienced a great loss. You will all be in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Jessie's mom

Wendy and Becky-
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She was so wonderful to our family when Kevin started preschool. She was our "angel" at MHR. She knew what our family was going through and was always there to help and offer suggestions. Her strength, courage and compassion will live on in all of you. May God Bless you.
Love, Mary Galvin and family

We will miss Mrs. Johnson. She was a wonderful teacher to both of our children. I had the pleasure of working with her at MHR and considered her a dear friend. We would like to extend our smypathy to the Johnson family. She is now in heaven watching over us. We have a new guardian angel.
Love, Eileen, Rich, Timothy & Grace.
