Not sure what to say?

Faye was one of the first women to greet me and make me feel welcome and comfortable at Women's City Club. Her warmth and sincere delight in meeting new members helped us feel at home. She was hospitality incarnate.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Miss Mae's passing. We shared so many moments filled with laughter - I loved keeping her on her toes, and she always met me with a quick smile and a hearty laugh. Those times we spent teasing and laughing together are memories I will always treasure. Miss Mae had a way of bringing lightness and joy wherever she went, and I feel lucky to have been part of her last remaining years at Porter Hills. My heart goes out to her family and all those who loved her....

I´m am so sorry to hear that my aunt Mae passed away. She will be missed.

Mae was always so welcoming to me. We didn´t see each other too much but when we did it was warm and interesting. My last time to talk with her, at the Amway luncheon, we sat together and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. My condolences to her daughters, Kim and Lyn and to her whole family. Rest in Peace Mae.

How blessed I am to have been a friend of Mae's for over 40 years. She was indeed a very special lady - full of fun, compassionate, dedication, sincerity, and faithfulness. Her devotion to her family, and her passion for her projects were always apparent and inspiring. I miss her but what wonderful memories I have, and she will be long remembered by her many, many friends at the Women's Cit Club and the Sweet House. I send my deepest sympathy to Lyn, Kim and the family.
