Sharing good times with good friends is the greatest joy. This is the stuff that makes life worthwhile. Whether sharing a meal together or a good conversation, there is nothing more fulfilling then spending time with friends. We must be thankful for the friendships that come our way for not all are blessed with the skills to form deep relationships. Those of us that do have friends must never take for granted the gift bestowed upon us. Will miss you dearly Mary Ellen. This poem was found just for you to share with family and friends.

I was saddened to hear of Mary Ellen's passing. I worked with her at Ethicon, she was such a nice, loving and caring person. I also remember her delicious homemade German Chocolate cake she would bake for our department lunches. May God Bless her family through this difficult time.
