As this day approaches, it's so very difficult to accept that you are no longer here. As I sit here this morning with a very heavy heart, the reflections of the great moments and the difference that you have made in my life bring me some level of comfort. There is no doubt that you will be missed, but i know that are now a part of my guardian angel corps. Miss you and love you eternally Aunt Mae. Take your well deserved rest with Myma, Uncle AJ, and Aunt Vi.
