Dear Ed, Katie, Ashley, Eddie and Cari,
Farewell: I wish you all joy in the Lord. I will say it again; all joy be yours. Let your generosity be clear to all.
And now my family, all that is true, all that is noble, all that is just and pure, all that is lovable and gracious, whatever is excellent and admirable..fill your thoughts with these things.
The lessons I taught you, the traditions I have passed on, All that you heard me way or saw me do, put into practice; And the God of Peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:4-9
Mary is our angel in heaven. She is missed by us all, but she is in a happy place. May the thought of knowing that bring peace to your hearts.
Love,
Dick & Jill Tetsell

Katie,
Your mother was an angel put here on earth to brighten each and every day for everyone. She will always be there for you weather you know it or not she is looking down on you with a smile on her face. Just as she always was, smiling. She is proud of you for everything that you do. It was a blessing to have met her and she will be greatly missed.

Dearest Ed and Family: Such a sad day for all of us. I remember Mary Ellen from the moment she was born. Big blue eyes and curly hair. I just wanted to hug her and kiss her and keep her close to me from the day she was born. Honestly, she was that sweet from the very beginning.
My mother made her First Communion Dress with loving care and it was so beautiful. Mary Ellen loved it. June and I felt so good about that dress and we had such great feelings and memories about it.
All kids go through their stages, but as Mary Ellen grew older I always admired the way she was conscientious about being good to her mother and father.
I remember when Ed bought Mary Ellen a Blue Fox Coat and she was absolutely crazy about it. I knew that Ed and Mary were a beautiful couple. Life has brought many challenges, bu+ Ed and MaryEllen rose to the occasion each time.
Words cannot truly express how i feel about the loss of this beautiful woman -- a beautiful blue-eyed blonde baby that I held in my arms -- but I do know that she is in a better place with her parents.
I love all of you dearly.
Aunt Rose and the Daly Family

O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
My Mother was many things to me a fighter, a survivor, a best friend, and to many of you a saint. Throughout her life she put others before herself and made sacrifices many people will never have to make in their entire lives. I am proud to say she was the most remarkable woman, friend, and mother to all of you. Let her heart live on in all of you.

God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. Your at Peace finally with our departed Mother and Father. We loved you so.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sunshine warm your face, and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, sister,May god hold you in the hollow of his hand.
