Mary Ellen was such a special lady. I will always remember her kindness & generosity towards me and my family. She was always curious about what we were up to and always had a smile & kind words to share. I appreciated her love for our dog, whom I believe she considered her grand-dog and adored beyond words. We will miss Mary Ellen so much❤️
