Mary Ellen was a beautiful and grace filled lady. We were so blessed she touched our lives and that of so many. As a polio survivor, she volunteered to teach today's Physical Therapy students about polio and post-polio for a number of years. Dub supported her in this effort. Her story will live on in those students. Surely choirs of Angels came to greet her. Nickie Lancaster and the Polio Support Group of Tennessee.
