Megan and Maureen -

I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. She is quite the remarkable woman and I am sure her passing was not easy at all.

I think of you both fondly from high school and hope that you are doing well. As far as the passing of your mother, I am sending you peace, light and comfort during this very difficult time.

Fondly,
Erin Donovan

There are no words for my feelings with the loss of my "Easy". Her humor and funny expressions are a part of my everyday speak. The Mimnaugh family was my ideal: A couple who loved and respected each other, seeking each other's counsel and support. I tried for years to become a part of that family for years, going to their family reunions, going on vacations with Easy and Peter to many wonderful places, Florida, the Kentucky Derby (at The Beaumont Inn), around Ohio and many more places made more fun because we were with them. Sometimes we even took all the kids. Ellen and my Jeff loved to cook together and on Sundays while to two of them dirtied up a kitchen, Peter and I would go to realtor open houses, because that's what we like to do while the chefs prepared a wonderful meal, including dessert.
Just too many memories to tell you about, but I will remember fondly until we all see each other again.
To my "family", extended and all, who accepted me as one of their own. They really had no choice because I would just happen to stop by Ellen and Peter's and there would be 20-25 Mimnaughs there, loud, loving with hilarious stories. I love you all so much. I know the grieving is difficult, but we all know that Easy is happy to be with Peter again, and of course, my Jeff has her Vodka in the refrigerator, just waiting for her to walk in the door for her first martini!! Rest peacefully you two. My heart aches, but thinking about the fun we had helps. Lynne

So very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the encouraging words at Matthew 6:10.

Although I never knew Ellen, the apple rarely falls far from the tree, and her son Michael is a wonderful person thanks no doubt, and in part, from Mrs. Mimnaugh's teachings. My prayers and sympathy go out to the entire family. g-d Bless!
