I don't know what happens to time. The years I worked side by side with Mae are just as vivid today. The stories about Frank, how he worked sometimes three jobs early on to make sure the family was cared for. How brilliant he was, how good he was, and what a big stinker he was. The same with her kids and her grandkids. For Mae, they were the best and the brightest and the most wonderful. Family. That is what mattered. I talked with her 8 weeks ago. Thought that I would get my new work schedule worked out in March and we could have lunch. That didn't happen, and that is all on me. The last thing Mae told me was not to worry cause she would still be around -- she had a lot of family to raise. If love, and compassion, and wonderment and fun and joy endure, the lessons she left still are raising family. I love you Mae. To your family, I am so very sorry. May God give you His great comfort.

Frank, Susie, Jeanne, & Nancy,
A monumental loss for all of you but , not the end of the found memories of an extraordinary mother and person.
Frank, our memories of life with you and Mae on 13th Street are some of the best times of our lives. We treasure them and talk about them often. We were all so young and our personal end was never a thought in our head.
We are with you in thoughts and prayers. No one will forget the sparkle in Mae's eyes.
Wishing you peace in the coming days, months and years.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mae's family. Mae was a woman of timeless beauty and energy! She will be missed. Mae always had a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face, for all to enjoy. I worked with Mae for many years and she taught me alot about work and life. I will always have fond memories of the time spent with Mae.
