I worked with Mae at HSMV. Mae was lots of fun to work with. We had many laughs together! She loved her family deeply.

My mom was the greatest person you could ever know. She was the type of person that could leave footprints on anyones heart. Life without her isn't going to be the same. As I know that she is no longer suffering, it's still hard not to hear her voice or be able to hold her hand. I know that I will see her again one day. I love you Mama!

Mae was a great person, she had the best sense of humor and a passion for her husband, children and grandchildren. She loved being a wife and grandmother,( meme). She could bring a smile to your face on your darkest day. I feel blessed to have known her and
be her friend. I will never forget her. I am sure she is in no more pain or sorrow. We will see her again one day. I am sorry I did not get to say bye before she passed. I was away for 3 months tending an ill sister.

Marsha, Shack, Monica and Gene, our prayers are with you. We were given the true honor and blessing by God to know such a wonderful woman. I know Isaiah is going to miss his Mimi. He is already asking about her everyday. Will has been such a blessing in dealing with this loss. He should be the one that is upset but instead he is telling us that we need to serve the Lord and know that we are going to Heaven because that is where his Mimi went and if we do that we can see her again. She was such a blessing and no doubt will be missed. But one day...we will see her again. Love you all. You know we are here for you. Mickey and Trish.

Gene and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Mae's passing, she was a sweet, loveable person. I remember our childhood when she lived next to my grandparents and then we met up again at DHSMV. She hadn't changed a bit.

To the family of a dear and sweet lady. Mae was in deed a caring and loving lady who was always ready to help and be there when others need her. She had a grand sense of humor and could always cheer you up. She worked with my daughter and I grew to love her and became very greatful that my daughter had such a loving friend in Mae. She was a very special lady and I know her family wil miss her very much. She will be deeply missed by her friends also. She left behind a memory of a smile that would light up a room and a laughter that was overwhelming with joy. She was a loved and precious person. My prays and thoughts will be with the family. It was a honor to see her get baptised in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and she knew the meaning of worship and glorifying God my love and thoughts go out to all her family.
