I have never forgotten the welcoming smile and firm hugs I'd receive from Aunt Mae when we visited her and Uncle Ben. I remember her has a bold, steadfast woman. And as a kid, wouldn't think of testing her. I wasn't always the most obedient child but I was in her home.
Much love and respect for this fine lady.
My memories of my Aunt Mae was that of a Elegant working woman, working retail in the ‘60’s was more uncommon than now. Her presence was immediately know and respected. God Bless her for Being in my family all these years, I’m sure Uncle Ben has been waiting at Heaven’s Grand Lake for his Bride to return. Love you Aunt Mae. ❤️
