My deepest condolences go to each of the Belcher family members. Mae was so very kind to me and I enjoyed being with her when I was a child.
She seemed to have enough love for everyone and didn't hesitate to give hugs when needed. I have thought of her often over the years and have regreted not being able to see her regularly. I loved her laugh and the twinkle in her eyes. She loved her family very much. My best thoughts are with you Gary, Bob, Pat, and Pam.
