Our prayers are with all of you at this time. Both my aunts, Betty and Tess Heffernan, have hundreds of fond memories working with and going on vacation with Mary Ellen. Unfortunately they don't drive anymore and they don't have computer access so I told them I would send condolences for them. The Heffernans
