I am so sorry for your loss. Actually Maymes passing is everyones loss. Our Parents were friends before any of us were even born! All the Thanksgiving Day Dinners togther while we were growing up, we were like "Family". It seems like just yesterday when I went home to Ketchikan with my two small children ( Brentt and Jill )but it was 1967 and Mayme was staying-visiting at my folks home. Those kids would try to mess with her jig-saw puzzles..and she was so good with them as though they were her own Grandchildren.

Mayme is at Peace now, and up in Heaven dancing her BIG heart out having a glorious time.

She will be missed by so many that knew her.

I was so sorry to hear about your mom(and it seemed like mine as a kid). She was a great and patient lady and will b sorrily missed. I didn't even know that you lived around here. My thoughts are with you all.

Aunt Mayme
Your path through life wasn't the smoothest, yet you always maintained a positive and undefeatable attitude toward life.
As time passes, I begin more and more to appreciate the love and kindness you always gave me.

I will miss you.
I've always loved you.

To my much loved cousins:

I always knew that one day the phone call from Alyce would be to say that we lost Mayme. I suppose it was her time, but then -- how can there be a right time, when life still has so many pleasures?

I am sad that she will not see Paul and Casey and Dan settled in their lives, that she will not see David's children graduate from high school, that she will not have the pleasure of watching Marty raise her two children, and that Rina's baby will never see the twinkle in her eye, or hear that happy chortle that so delighted Alyce, Kathy, Nick, Alan and me whenever Mayme became our accomplice is mischief.

Nevertheless, Mayme had the pleasure of knowing there would be at least one more great grandchild, and that her name would live on in that child.

Aunt Mayme was important for me during those confusing formative years of young adulthood when I had left Alaska for the confusing big city. I was ill equipped for that. For both Alan and me, the Edmonds house became a safe haven. It was a home we could retreat to when our lives "down South" became too much. It was there that the cousins and I (especially Alyce, who was my age and temperament) forged the bonds that would become my most important tie to Mayme's family. I consider this a great gift.

I miss my Aunt Mayme even though I did not spend time with her in later years. Her mere existence was a comfort. I am proud of my cousins for constructing lives that made their mother happy, and for the care they gave her in her declining years.

I send love and kisses to all of you. I am confident that you will use this sad occasion to notice what a great bunch of offspring she left -- namely, you.
