We remember our Mother, deChantal telling us of Mary Elizabeth, unfortunately we only met her once (during our Mother and Mary Elizabeths blonde stage). We grew up in California, so the stories we heard are from their ongoing correspondence. Our Mother has saved these letters which are a sacred keepsake.

Dan and family, I was so sad to hear of Mary Elizabeth passing. I will always fondly remember her visits to my grandmother's house and being so envious of her beautiful salt and pepper hair. She was always so easy to speak with and I'm glad I got to spend some time with her at the recent family wedding.. She is in God's sweet hands now and I'm sure she has recieved a warm welcome from her Aunt Bea and Herron cousins.
Love, Ann and Bob Vogelman

Dan, Dan&Sherrie and their boys,
Ive known Mary Elizabeth since our St Huberts days. We have remaind friends over these many years, sharing stories of our boys as they grew into men, as they married, and had their own families. We have shared lots of stories together and as I reflect on those memories I am able to smile, but Im saddened knowing that there wont be any new memories together. Good bye my dear friend
