CONDOLENCES
"Gordie and Mary, I just came across this site in Dec,2011, to check on an address for a contribution to her favorite
charity, in this case the First Baptist in Geneva. Still wishing you two the best and my condolences on the death of Aunt Mae. It seems strange to think of her and then remember she won't be writing or calling us any more. She will be missed. Love to you both, Cousin Rich. "
"I met Gordon and Mrs. Marshall at Baker Cemetery one day and what lovely people they were. I planted some flowers on Mr. Marshall's grave and they thanked me so much. Mrs. Marshall sent me a lovely drawing of a fox that she had done, along with a wonderful note. Mrs. Marshall and my mother graduated together from Plato Center High School. I lost my mother in June and she is also buried at Baker. May they both rest in peace. I did not know Mrs. Marshall well, but knew her well enough to know that she was a gracious lady. Blessings to her family. "
"Mary and Gordon,
Sorry we did not have a chance to visit with Mae last month. She sent a nice note regarding Valeria's death.
Your news of her death came as a surprise but what a way to end a life--mentally alert and able to visit with you.
Many good times were had be all talking to Mae about birds, her art endeavors, bridge playing and those TRIVIA PURSUIT questions. She probably has already organized a bridge group!!
Our thoughts will be with you both tomorrow."
"Gordon & Mary, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. Mae was such a sweet, gentle, and caring person. She touched many lives and will truly be missed by all. I hope you can find peace during this difficult time. "
"Gordon and Family. Our hearts are with you in this time of sorrow."
"Mondays with Mom. (Mae)
Gordon, we know how much you looked forward to those visits. You have lasting laughter and stories to recall of a loving mother cordial, kind, bright in mind and spirit. We ourselves cherish the interactions we had with Mae and fondly remember the notes she sent us. Sending blessings from a distance. "
"Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.I will miss getting my little notes from Mrs. Mae. She was the sweetest, kindest person I ever met. She was always so positive and saw the best in everyone. I know God has another angel with him now."

Our thoughts and prayers from the Wilke family are with your family."
