My deepest sympathy to Tom and family. I am in Florida at this time and just learned of Mary Ellen's passing. I have only known her a few years through Fortnightly and our knitting groupbut am so glad I got to know her. She was a truly wonderful and generous person and will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you All. Jane Gilmore

Dear Tom,Kelly and Andy,
The Mass for Mary Ellen was beautiful. She was such a wonderful,kind and caring individual and she was loved by so many people. I am so proud that she was part of my life and she will always remin in my heart and prayers. Our loss is Heaven's gain and she will forever smile down on you.

My deepest sympathy to Tom and the rest of the Mason family. I was so sorry to learn of Mary Ellen's
passing. I met Mary Ellen McGrath in 1965 at John Hancock in Boston where she & I worked in the
Actuarial Department. When Mary Ellen and her roommate needed a 3rd for their big, wonderful
apartment in the Coolidge Corner area of Brookline, I was happy to be asked to move in. During that time I also
met and became friendly with her family who lived in Amherst MA where her Dad, Bill, owned the drug
store right in the center of town. We were roommates for three years and become such good friends that
I asked her to be Maid-of-Honor at my wedding. I moved out to western MA, but stayed in touch with
her over the years, but hadn't seen her since 2004 when she stopped by for lunch after visiting her
mother in a local nursing home. She had a sweet disposition and was a lot of fun, but most of all she
was a good person who cared so much for those around her. Goodbye and God Bless, Mary Ellen.

Dear Tom, Andy and Kelly: I am so sorry and saddened on the loss of Mary Ellen. She was one of the nicest, most loving and giving people I have ever known, and she blessed my life in many ways. I am so honored to have been able to consider her a friend and I will never forget her. My thouhts and prayers go out to all of you and if there is anything I can do, please let me know. Rest in peace Mary Ellen...God has taken one of the truly best! xoxo Love, Sharon-Towner Creighton
