Denis and family I am so sorry to hear of the home going of your mom. Our time together started back many years ago at Edwards Street Assembly in Alton, IL. Then continued to the District Office for many years. Your parents were one of the minister's that married Jim and I many years ago also. We always enjoyed talking with them and having them come and teach on the Holy Land and their travels in many of our congregations. My sympathy and prayers are with you all.

Denis and family, I worked here in the District Office with both your parents from 1991 until your father's passing and mother's retirement. Mary Ellen was a mighty lion! She continued witnessing all the way to the end at the rehab center. I also have fond memories of your father's joyful, gentle spirit. You have an incredible legacy!
