My condolences to the family, Mae will be greatly missed.
Mae always made us feel welcome on our trips back to North Dakota. She was a strong lady and a pleasant person. She always had a good word to say. Her meals were so enjoyable. Her letters made us feel like we were sitting next to her talking to us.
It was so nice to share your farewell memorial at the funeral home.
Love and Gods Blessings, Sharon, Erickson, sister-in law
