Mary Ellen was a wonderful and generous woman and a pleasure to work with. My condolences to Missy and her entire family. She will be missed

To: Missy and the boys, 
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of MaryEllen. She was a truly wonderful person. I had the privilege of working with her in the emergency room, where she consistently looked out for me and took the time to mentor me. MaryEllen was special to me, and I will always cherish her kindness and guidance. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Her passing is a reminder that this world is temporary and that one day, we will all stand before God in His glory. I pray that we are all prepared for that day, and that we may be reunited with our loved ones in heaven. This is the blessed hope we hold onto.

May God bless and comfort you all, in Jesus’ name.

Heavenly Father I come to you heart broken but must understand you needed another angel. 
Mary ellen I am heart broken. I will miss you💔🙏🏽.
Missy to you and the boys . We have never met all these years ,but I knew you thru talks with your mother. Her eyes would sparkle as she talked about you guys . I hope you find comfort in knowing how much she truly loved you guys. We would always have talks every shift about the old days in the ER and the crazy shifts. 
Mary ellen was a nurturer. She always would send me little messages to check up on me if she didnot see me  for a  while and vice versa .
I must laugh to myself right now from  the last message I read from Barbara D . she is right your mom was an exceptional Kohl’s coupon collector she  always knew how to get a great deal. Lol
May God continue to give you strength and comfort in your many days to come during this difficult time.
🙏🏽💔😔 🪽🪽
Godbless .

So sorry for your loss Missy. Sending love and prayers to you and your family. Mom was a very special friend I will treasure always. She was always there to help out, give advice and share a good laugh. She would call and say let’s go to kohls I have coupons. I loved her ability to put coupons together at Kohls and get stuff practically free And of course her skills and knowledge as a nurse. She could deal with any emergency that walked thru the door. . I will miss my  friend😢😢💕💕
