Dear Ray, Michael, Jean, Mary Ellen, Betty Ann, Rose Ann, Judy Ann, and all your families,
I wish I could be there with you. The only thing I can think of saying is "all my love, " which goes without saying. Your mother is one of the most important people in my life and I love her so much. Your mother always sent us a Christmas card and brought us up to date with the family. And we'd write too, my mother and me.
Please send me a few lines--I'm at:

The Urtnowskis, it was so fortunate you lived right by my grandparents. And again, here's all my love, Marjorie Burack, in case you know more than one Marjorie. This is me.

There are no right words that can be written or said to those left behind. One can only take comfort in that she was loved and loved all of you. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with each and every person who will miss Mary Ellen.
