Mary Ellen Eyke

MOMMY I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU I AM STILL PICKING UP PHONE EVERY DAY TO CALL YOU!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU AND OUR DAILY CHATS! OUR CHATS WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY. NOT ONLY DID I LOSE MY MOM I LOST MY BEST FRIEND, THE ONE AND ONLY PERSON I COULD CALL WHEN I WAS FEELING THIS LOW. RIP KATHY

To Walter and Family,
When we heard the sad news of Mary's passing, just couldn't beleive it! She was so much part of our lives especially our years together in Lansing as part of the Jug & Mug Ski Club, where Bob and I met. She was our maid of honor when we married 41 years ago. What I remenber most is her great sense of humor, we were always laughing about something.

IN ADDITION TO BEING A CLASSMATE,MARY ELLEN LIVED TWO BLOCKS FROM ME ON N.PINE ST.AND ALWAYS THANKED ME FOR THE RIDE TO SCHOOL ON COLD MI.MORNINGS.SHE WILL BE MISSED.SORRY I CAN'T BE THERE.

Mary Ellen was such a beautiful person, inside and out. She will be missed by us all. Bill Brindle 57

How I remember that wonderful smile and wonderful personality of so many years ago. Fun memories of walking home from school and sharing in simple things. I will always remember her as the truly lovely person she always was. My deepest condolences to Walter and the family.

To Walter and family,
Mary Ellen was a special person to many of us. She will be missed. I'm sorry I can't be there for the memorial. I'll be there in spirit.
With sadness and sympathy.

Here is a picture of Mary Ellen as a Lansing St. Mary's Cheerleader in 1956. She is on left. I'll always remember the joy she brought to me when she held a SURPRISE Party for me when I had to leave Lansing and move to Kalamazoo on February 26, 1956. She was one of the brightest and cheerful personalities I've ever met. I enjoyed visiting with her at the last regular meeting of St. Mary graduates on November 29th. She solved a genealogy issue on my family and she knew the person involved...
