REST IN PEACE Aunt Mae

Matthew Majercak

October 11, 2018

I worked at MacDonalds with Mae during the summers of my college years, 1977-1981. I have nothing but good memories of Mae. She was very helpful and patient as I learned to perform a fast paced, multi-task job. I'm very sorry to learn of her passing, and I extend her family and friends my condolences.
