I have such good memories of this generous, vivacious woman. Did she ever meet a stranger? My best to all of you. What a great family. Denise
A fond memory of mine is that Aunty Mae knit me a beautiful, beige sweater, a labor of love. My sincere condolences on the passing of Aunty Mae.
My memories of Aunty Mae are numerous and span many, many years. Especially the time when she and Uncle Vincent helped us when my Dad was injured. And the mah jong time in her home in Oakland. We will surely miss her and she will always live in our memories. Our heartfelt condolences and are thoughts are with the family in their grief.
With love, Stan & Bea
Want to publicly acknowledge how much your mother meant to us both. We adored her: her mischievous smile, her flying hands -whether she was knitting or playing mah-jong, her enormous pride & love for her family. We are proud to have been included in her warm circle & will miss her terribly.Sorry we were so far away when she left you.Deepest condolences to everyone.
Offering my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort and hope in the Bible’s promise, “Your dead ones will live. . . . They will rise up.” –Isaiah 26:19. We are with you in looking forward to God’s promise to undo the effects of death and even do away with death itself, as Revelation 21:3, 4 promises. What a wonderful hope is presented in God’s Word. . . being able to live right here on earth in paradisaic conditions with our loved ones beside us. –Psalms 37:29. It is our hope that these scriptures along with the support of friends and family will comfort you during this time of loss.
Saddened to hear of your Mother’s passing. Wishing you peace and fond memories during this time.
