    Beloved Carey Darnell and family, I feel your sorrow for the passing of Aunt Mae! She was quite a lady throughout her life and made a number of achievements in her life as well! One I admired was her starting out in housekeeping at St. Vincent DePaul to later becoming an administrative assistant. She cooked, sewed beautifully and her pottery making is still beautiful in my home! Again, she was quite a beautiful lady. She and Uncle Carey have been a special time of my life! I know this is your time to grieve but please remember the wonderful life she gave to each of you in the time she was with you! I love you all…your cousin Faye
