Now she will be singing a new song. Mae was a Sunday School teacher years ago at Charity Tab. in Indianapolis. God, Church, and her Children were her life. She taught her children the love of God. As the children went to bed every night, I watched my mother reading her Bible as I fell asleep. You never needed an alarm clock in our house, the sound of a praying mother always woke us up. She will truly be missed by all of us, but we know she will be watching over us from the portals of Heaven. This was truly one of God's little angels.
