I met Mae at the Brethren Village where my mother is a resident and she was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever known. I heard her playing the organ and enjoyed listening to her playing. She always had a smile on her face and never complained about anything. I didn’t get to see her after she entered the assisted living.
