Such sad news. I used to see her and Chuck walking hand-in-hand down the halls. Prayers to her children and grandchildren. It doesn't get any easier when I hear of classmates I knew. Many just by sight and popularity and those I knew personally. Thank you for posting Cathy.

Very sad. R.I.P. Mary Ellen. She is back with her sweetheart.
Chuck was a great guy. As a young firefighter Chuck helped me a lot learning to drive and operate fire apparatus.
