Bruce, Paige, Craig and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Mary Ellen was a great lady and a wonderful Christian leader. She will be greatly missed. Her steadfast faith and unwavering commitment to God's will for her life has placed her in the "so great a cloud of witnesses" who have gone before us and show us the way. We loved her dearly and admired her greatly and will look forward each day to seeing her again in His presence. God grant you peace and the comfort of His presence. Love and Prayers, Barb, Bob, Leah and Brian

Dear Bruce,
Mary Ellen was a fine example of a life well lived. Her efforts on behalf of Woodside Church will always be remembered. I wanted you to know how grateful I am for the interest that you and Mary Ellen showed in Katie. Good examples are hard to find. I will keep you in my prayers.

Our hearts are broken but we know without a doubt where Miss Mary Ellen is right now. She will live in our hearts forever as she truly was angel here on earth. You will be in our hearts and prayers also throughout the coming days.

Dear Bruce: We can only imagine what you must be going thru at this most difficult time. Knowing Mary Ellen is with the Lord and that you will see her again, totally whole, cancer free, has got to be some comfort. However, as humans, since we love so deeply, we hurt so deeply when we lose someone we love so very much. We pray you will sense the presence of the Lord so very real and near to you at this time. We love you and continue to pray for you and your family.

Dear Bruce and family, how thankful we are that our dear Savior will be your strength, comfort, and stay at this time as you let Him hold your hearts. We rejoice with our Heavenly Father in His joy made full, as He delights in the saving triumph of His work of grace in Mary Ellen's life. We will soon follow in this victory! May the Lord be praised!
In Fellowship with Jesus, Tom and Darlene Wontrop
