I knew Ofa Mae when I was a little girl living next door to the Evangelical Methodist Church. She and all her family influenced my life in a positive direction. She was a beautiful person. My condolences to her children and grandchildren. I know you will miss her.

My heartfelt sympathy to the whole family in the loss of Mae. Who would have thought that my mom (Dorothy Arthur) and Mae would both be gone in the span of less than 3 months? Mae was such a good neighbor and friend to my mom. They used to go out to lunch quite frequently and Mom enjoyed that so much. I know she is out of pain now and that you all have such great memories of her to comfort you in this time of great sorrow. Sharon L. Sloan
