MARY ELLEN AND I FIRST MET AT A GRIEVING GROUP AFTER THE LOSS OF OUR RESPECTIVE MATES. OUR FRIENDSHIP CONTINUED FOR MANY YEARS SINCE .SHE WAS A SUPPORTIVE FRIEND WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND SMILE. SHE WILL GREATLY MISSED…ROCHELLE MIKA
I am so happy that Mary Ellen is now in heaven, even tho she will be greatly missed on earth. Not only was Mary Ellen my sister-in-law, but she was a true friend. She was always there when I needed her, and I did many times. Whether it was talking to me on the telephone, late at night, after visiting Joe in the hospital or even grocery shopping when we were both disabled. She came to my hospital room in the middle of the night to be with Joe when I was facing very risky emergency surgery and even came with me to a doctor’s office so I would have a second pair of ears. She always knew what to say to put me at ease. These are only a few things that come to mind. Rest easy dear friend, you have made it!❤️
