My aunt Mae was my heart. She was the most precious dear person I know. She comforted me in my many times of grief . She was always there for me with a kind word and a loving heart. She loved me and my mother beyond words. She taught me the true meaning of what a friend is. I love her so very much. My heart truly hurts. I will miss her . I do know that my mama was there to greet her. I know she was very excited to see her again. Sissy , Wayne , and Debbie you have always been my family and always will be. God bless you and always be with you. I love you . If you ever need anything please call on me.
