Hi Everyone – When I learned of Mae’s passing – It stopped me dead in my tracks! Mae was always there for my mom and me no matter what. She was like a second mom/grandmother to us. I know heaven gained a very special angel. She will be missed!!!! Krissy .Kreeky. Dombrowski Holland
I have very fond memories of Mae when I worked at the bank. We kept in touch after I left. The first Christmas care I received was always from Mae. She loved her family so. She was a great lady, who will be missed by many.
