Prabha And Sonal Nair
Sonal and I have very vivid and fond memories of Mary Ellen and the Harlan family from our days in Jakarta when we were friends and neighbors for over 6 years and our kids, Arief and Samir, were playmates. Mary Ellen was intensely devoted to Jim and the kids and more than anything else was an exceptionally kind and gentle hearted person to all who crossed her path. Her ever smiling countenance was her most distinct trademark.
We remained in touch over the years though we lived in different parts of the world and country.
Our paths cross again live in 2011 at Wash U where Ryan had just enrolled and where our daughter had enrolled a year earlier. It was a great reunion with Jim and Mary Ellen.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim, Arief and Ryan during this very difficult time, but you can be sure she is smiling lovingly at her family from her heavenly abode. We will always cherish the great memories we have of Mary Ellen.
