Fond memories of Mary Ellen, as a dear friend and when she worked for us when we shipped potatoes in the '80's and early '90's! May our Lord bless you with fond memories of good times help you through this time of grief.
Tender hugs and prayers,

I have many wonderful memories of my dear friend Mary Ellen! We became aquianted over 30 years ago while we were serving on the grand jury in Grand Rapids. Throughout the years we shared the "ups and downs" of our lives. She was a special friend to me and I will miss her very much! May God grant His peace and grace to her family.

My grandma is the strongest person I'll ever know.
She's also the one that taught me to love. To care.
To be a good person. To work hard. And more.
I miss her.
