I am so sorry to hear this news. Mary Ellen and I graduated together and we reconnected over Facebook in recent years. She had "spunk" and a heart of gold. She was a one of a kind person and I will miss her! My condolences to her family.

Mary Ellen, I miss you so much! I remember when you would come watch Christian and I play soccer at Terra Bay and how we would go hang out at my house after and do late night 7/11 runs. I wish I hugged you a little tighter the last time I saw you I wish I told you I loved you once more. Forever - Bella
