I will always remember that smile she had, it would show caring, loving, or distrust, get away from me, or die dog!! You could always tell which one it was!!! It pains my heart to hear of her passing, and Im sure shes in a better place, with no more tears, no more pain. My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family in this time of mourning.

My heart hurts for the loss of an amazing lady. I have such fond memories of Mae Mae cracking up at all of our sassy, smart mouthed teen/young adult antics. Such a wonderful woman! She will be dearly missed. Jackie and family, my love to you all.
