Even though I only knew Ms.Mae for a little over a year, I can tell what kind of love she had to give, for her last words to me was "I love yall, too." Praying for comfort and peace for every loved one, family and friend.

I am lighting a lavender candle for you. Lavender is a sign of peace, which we know you are at now, love, which everyone who knew you loved you, and protection, because we know you are watching over your family and protecting them. I know you are up in heaven and dancing with Jesus. I didn't know you well but from what I did know of you and stories I heard from your precious daughter Nicole.. you were an amazing woman, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

I lit a candle on your behalf as white is one of the most pure colors and I can describe you as exactly that. You were perfectly pure in every Avenue of life. One of the only women I can 100% say that about. I love you dearly and I hope you rest in peace. Tell Mom and Nanny I said HELLO and that I miss them too.
