My dearest Mae, Your presence among us will be greatly missed. When we were so little and vulnerable, you were our protector, the one who loved us the most. We remember your spirit, your joy, your sassiness, and always, always, the love you showed us. You will be remembered every day.
Our dearest Mae, When we were young and most vulnerable, you were our protector. As we grew, you were always there when we needed you. We will miss the love you gave so freely. We are sad to see you go but we know that Jesus welcomed you with joy. You will forever be in our hearts, love and memories.
