I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Mae. She was a distant relative of mine. My grandmother (Louise Stevens Mason) was Mae's half-sister. It's been many years since I've seen Mae. She was a very sweet person. My mother (Mary Mason Allen) is the only one left on my grandmother;s side of the family, but she is ill and in a nursing home now. I'm sure she would wanted to be at the funeral if she was able. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

We are so sorry to hear about Mae's passing. I did not find out until I went to church on Wednesday evening. Mae was a part of our lives for many years. God bless. Donna Wilson ( Jack Bass's niece) , Bessie Taylor and Thelma Maddox ( sisters of Jack).
