Richard and family, we were so sorry to hear about Mary Ellen. She was such a kind and loving person, who always had a beautiful smile,even as her health was failing. I unfortunately could not attend the service last night as I did not get off work in time and can not go this am as I have a Doctor appointment and do not want to expose everyone to my cold germs. You and your family are in our prayers, God Bless you. Love, your cousin, Carol. New Berlin, IL US
May God Bless your whole family and give you much strength during this very, very difficult and sorrowful time. Although My sons and I never met Mary, I can tell that she must have been an awesome person. Being a distant realative I did not realize the extint of her illness and I was not aware of her going to be with the lord because we do not take the newspaper. However, we did here it at mass, at 11:30 am this morning, still not realizing that visitation may be this evening. Unfortunately, I work tomorrow and my husband is on the road headed for California. Again, God Bless, and take care, I can relate a little to this sorrowful time. A little over a year ago I lost my father. Time does help heal. Written by Annette Hebenstreit Forsyth, IL US

We'll miss you Mom. You were the kindest, most patient person we ever known. Springfield, IL US
