I am sorry Mae is gone, but she lived a long, good life. We called her "Pretty Mae" here in the apts. on 4th Avenue south in GF. She was a bright soul and very generous. She made the worlds best honey wheat bread and would always share! The world was a better place for her presence in it. It is so hard to lose our beloved parents and I wish her dear family well. ~~Karen Phelps
