In loving memory of Ma Mae she was my dear friend. Ma Mae has been in my life for 75 years I will miss her with all my heart. God saw Ma Mae was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her and whispered, come with me, with tearful eyes we watched MaMae suffer and slowly fade away. Although we loved Ma Mae dearly we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Ma Mae was put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. |
