    With mixed feeling I hear this news. Mae is no longer suffering in this world yet in a much better place. You know Earnest was waiting with open arms for his beloved. Still miss Earn so much think about him and Mae often. They were dear dear friends. I would not be a Christian if not for the many hours spent with Earn. Deb, Kim and Jr. you I love Y'all so much. Hope to see you on this side.
