I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mae. What a wonderful lady she was always so kind and it was obvious how much she loved you and her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Jeff gave her a big hug when she arrived in heaven. God Bless you, Lee and Debbie.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have always called you Mom and Pop. You both are such sweet and caring couple. You always asked about our daughter who passed away July 2010 of cancer at such a young age. She won't be suffering anymore and she will be seeing MaLinda in heaven. You always sat on the pouch and waved as we drove by and we will miss that. If there is anything we can do for you let us know. We are only a few trailers away from you. We love you.
