It’s was just today that we learnt of Mae’s passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We always enjoyed her friendship over the years on Guy street and we think of her wonderful egg nog every Christmas! She introduced me to the beautiful spring Daphne shrub that adorns our garden every spring. It was our good fortune to have known her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Bob at this difficult time. May the memories of shared moments lift your spirits and make your heart smile.
Our sympathy to Derick, Robert and Sylvia on the passing of your beloved mother. Always a welcoming family matriarch especially at Christmas time and at “Gran-Gran’s” August birthday barbecues. In recent years I cherished our periodic nightly phone calls to say hello to my “Favorite Aunt” and to compare our latest pain medications. She knew her time would come but was astonished that she outlived most of her closest friends. May God bless her.
Roy William III and Heather Myers
