I received an email saying Maryellen had passed this day... I think of her now and then and sometimes cannot believe she passed so young. She had everything to live for,but Father God had a plan for her.. Im confident she is in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ and one day we will see each other again.. God Bless The Foxworthy and Carr Families
