Another comment spoke of their warm memories of Mary. "A strong memory of Mae was when picking up a loaf of bread for family. I could always recall the warmth and caring she shared. Come sit by the fire with a cup of tea and a gingersnap. That was golden back then. By the time I got back home the loaf got much lighter. My father and Tommie her husband bartered services on the farms. Time has now taken all the neighbors as Mae was the last remaining memory. A survivor through many difficult times."
