Guest Book

Mae was a person who always showed sweetness and compassion to me. As first cousins, we spent a lot of time together and grew up having conversations on the phone for hours, reminiscing and discussing family matters. Losing her has left a deep void in my life. She was not only a cousin but also a dear friend, and life will never be the same without her. I will always hold Mae in my heart and thoughts. She was a fighter, and although God has called her to rest, her spirit of perseverance and strength will continue to inspire me. Mae's passing has reminded me to cherish every moment with loved ones and to be grateful for the time we have together. May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory bring comfort and healing to all those who knew and loved her. Love always, Filisty "Fiss"
