Dear Mary, Denise, Bobbie, Julie and the rest of your family,
Mae was such a wonderful person- I have such fond memories of your Mom at Jackson School. One closest to my heart was when she had to drive me to the hospital because my water bag had broken. She was as calm as she could be! And.. after delivering me to the hospital, she went to pick up my mother because she couldn't drive and brought her to me! I'll never forget your mother's kindness and friendship! I will truly miss her! Sending you our love and prayers at this time!! She was so proud of all of you!
Love, Patrice and Geoff

Life Stories

When Mae and Bernie married, I drove them for the wedding ceremony in my father's car. When we visited St. James, every Saturday the whole Cagnollatti family would come to my father's house on and all would play Lotto. When Billou would call the numbers, he would always say "Elevelyn" instead of eleven.
We couldn't make Mae's services, but we have her in our prayers.
Jack, Emily, Matt, Anne and Claire
