Please accept our condolences. Maryellen was a funny, sweet lady who made an impression on my girls at a young age. They haveva fond memory of her. She will be missed.
My Mom in Heaven
They say there is a reason
They say time will heal;
Neither time or reason
Will change the way I feel.
Gone are the days
We used to share,
But in my heart
You are always there.
The gates of memories
Will never close;
I miss you more than
Anybody knows………..
Love and miss you everyday ❤️
Till we meet again
Always & Forever
I love you Mom
Grandma,
God looked around his garden
and found an empty space
Then He looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best……..
We love you Grandma
Chase and Hunter

Thank you MaryEllen…
Thank you for the fun time we had in the Keys. It was so sweet when you let my daughter Logan call you Grandma.
Thank you for your contagious laugh…I can literally still hear it.
But most of all…Thank you for giving my sister Annmarie life! Please watch over her & make your presence known when she needs it the most.
You will be missed terribly.
May the Lord look upon you with favor & give you peace. ❤️ 🕊 ✝️
Mary Ellen (Tooky). Where to begin the childhood games you made up for us to play
The summers in Godeffroy the teenage years and beyond
All our lives you were the closest thing to a sister I have ever had.
I miss you & us
Love, Nancy

To: The Family of Mary Ellen. My Sincere Condolences. With Love and Hugs
Mark and Leslie – was so sorry to hear about her passing, but know that the struggles of the past several years are behind her and she is in a better place. She may not have realized it at the time but I’m sure she knows now what a wonderful son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren she had caring for her and loving her for the last years of her life.
My favorite memory of your mother was her flying in the open cockpit Aircam, leather flight helmet and goggles and all. She was pretty quiet during the flight, but was all smiles after we landed. Quite the adventurer in her seventies! There is a picture somewhere, wish I could have found it to post here. They don’t make them like your mother anymore!
Our condolences,
Brett & Irina
