I worked with Mae at Harper Wyman over 30 years ago. She was always so kind and always had a smile on her face. She was very proud of her family and always spoke so lovingly of them. May it give you comfort to know tat she was truly a kind-hearted person. I will never forget her and the friendship we had. I’m very sorry for your loss. The world could use a lot more people like Mae Cade.
