I was very saddened to hear that my very good friend Mae passed away last month.  She was like a mother to me and watched me grow from a little girl to becoming a mother.  I knew her son Gary from elementary school.  I got closer to her when we worked at the Hawaiian Gift shop in Ala Moana shopping center.  Even after I left we still kept in contact with each other through mail or phone calls.  I will never forget her sweet, soft voice whenever she called me from Hilo.  I know when she moved to Honolulu, I tried keeping in touch but by then I knew something was wrong since she did not reply to all of my letters and birthday cards.  At least now she is in a better place and not suffering anymore. Thank you for posting such a beautiful picture of Mae, I will never forget her.
