I´ve known Skip and Mary Ellen for many years and saddened to hear of his passing. There are no words that can remove the current pain, but know that he is in Heaven free of pain and disease. Already fitted for angel wings, he will watch and guide you until you are united once again in Heaven. God bless you Mary Ellen, my old friend and rest of the family.
