Mae was a beautiful soul. I don’t think I ever saw her not smiling. I always loved seeing her and Harry at the pharmacy. Sending prayers and my condolences.

Our condolences to Mae’s family. My grandson and I would visit her often at the North Adams Commons. She was always in a good mood, ready to tell us stories and her usual joke; we enjoyed visiting her. We first met at the Florida Center a few years ago and couldn’t help but loving her; she reminded me of my grandmother, whom I loved so much. Mae always told me that she was ready for whenever the Lord decided it was her time. She’s certainly in Heaven, she was an Angel of good will to all who met her.

What a wonderful lady, always pleased everyone, loved playing at the Florida church. We sang many songs together. She will truly be missed. Play that keyboard in the sky, our dear, dear friend! God bless you and love you. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the wind blow soft upon your back, and the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
