Mary Elizabeth was my 3rd cousin and I loved her very much. She was such a force it is hard to imagine she's passed. As the notices read, shocked and saddened sims it up perfectly for me. I will always love you M.E.

When I learned of the passing of my dear, dear friend Mary Elizabeth, I was shocked and deeply saddened. We had been friends since the 1970's, though separated by distance, we talked on the phone often, laughed, joked, discussed, disagreed, but always respected each others opinion. It's so very hard for me to comprehend this loss. You will always be close in my heart. . . I miss you so, ME. . .

I am saddened to hear about Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth and I owned a condo in Bristol, CT. ME was also on the board with me for the condo association. I will miss her.
