I am so sorry for your loss. I work for BNSF and had many business dealings with Mary Ellen. She was always the consummate professional and a pleasure to deal with. After business was done we always talked about our lives and other things. Mary never failed to ask about my wife and her battle with Breast Cancer. Later Mary would always end every conversation with a question about my wife. I will miss Mary and always remember how caring and warm she was.
May God bless and comfort you.
Sincerely,
Steve Spragg

We shared some tough times, and lots of good times, since those early days at First Union Rail. It's hard to imagine Mary has left us. My condolences for your loss.

I worked with Mary many years ago and everytime I've seen her since she always had the big smile and infectious laugh. She will be sincerely missed. Our prayers are with you and your family at this time!

Dear Fred and family...The Celebration of Life in remembrance of Mary today was really lovely. The photos and video showed how much Mary enjoyed life...and all her many family and friends. I enjoyed hearing people's stories shared. There were many treasured memories of events...from small to large...that made up Mary's life and who she was. May God grant you peace in the knowledge that her spirit lives on, shining in the love of Christ. Pat Diehn

Fred,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I did not know Mary well, but she was very sweet and welcoming whenever I met her. And if you picked her, she had to be someone very special. I miss you and your friendly hug, Fred. Please know I'm thinking about you and your family and keeping you in my prayers. Please accept my sincere condolences.
