Condolence: The best and brightest woman I ever shall know on sea and land. May the glories of the day surround thee in crowning heaven. Walt

Condolence: MaryEllen was a fine lady who will be greatly missed by all her friends in the World Ship Society. We personally will remember the wonderful cruises we shared with her. Prayers and condolences to her family.

Condolence: I'm very sad to hear of Mary Ellen's passing! Unfortunately, I live in Oakland, California, so I won't be attending the viewing. I knew Mary Ellen, as she was one of my clients when she worked for Chelsea House Publishers several years ago. I actually hand-delivered a proofread manuscript to her at the Chelsea's offices when I was visiting New York in October 2008. We had a very nice chat. I recall she said she was very much into classic animation and she greatly appreciated my work for Chelsea House. She also provided references for me on a few occasions. My prayers and thoughts are with her friends and family.
