    So very sorry to her this! Sending prayers and loving thoughts to her family.

    The world lost a great mother, mother in law, sister, aunt, 4-legged grandma… AND a dear friend to many. Heaven however gained another angel. Rest in peace ME, you will be missed.

    Much love,

    With deep heart filled sadness I send to Marry Ellen’s family. She was so very caring & kind. Always looking to help someone when ever she could. She was always very sincere & always spoke with a postive attitude to make her life better or someone else’s. She was in a very good place in her life at the time of our last conversation just a few weeks ago.We shared many conversations about the old home place where her dad grew up with my mom. We had a many laughs about his younger days & Grandma & Grandpa. I wished she could have known them as I did but she enjoyed the memories about them she didn’t know. I will always treasure our last chat & looked forward to hear about her latest trip & what she had be doing. I’m so glad as cousins we got reacquainted with each other.I will forever miss & never forget her. I pray for you all that Jesus wraps his loving arms around each & everyone of you. Love you all 💕Karen Sue

    My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Souders family. Although I have not seen any of you in many years, I remember the fun all of us neighbor kids had at your home. You are in my prayers.
