Lots of wonderful memories of Aunt May and her beautiful smile, You never saw her without it, especielly  when Jimmie Hughie came home with Nanook of the North very young dog, and we were home for a visit and she talked us into taking him with that beautiful smile on her face. We already had a cat and dog at home, and yes, he came home with us and he became Don's dog and lived to be 15 years old. And Aunt May always  asked about him with that beautiful smile on her face.

So sorry to hear of Aunt May's passing,she will always hold a special place in our memories.

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing.  I remember her smile and her pleasant nature. 
Sending my condolences to all.

May was so patient with Dad. In their later years he'd call her every single morning and they'd often talk for up to an hour. Dad would do most of the talking, telling May the same stories she had heard countless times before. Not only would she listen patiently but if Dad was late to call her, she would call him. 

They and their other siblings were all very close and very good to each other. A model family and now all together again. Thinking of that should give us all great happiness.

Sending condolences on the loss of your beautiful Mother.
I only met her a few times but we always had a nice conversation.
Know that you are in our prayers Jim, Francis , Judy and families.


Dear Francis, Jimmy and family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of May's passing. As you know, she was a big part of my life and I could relate many stories about her carrying on with us and with the other kids on the street. She was the last of our moms. I often wondered how many fences she and my mother wore out leaning over the fence to chat. Some day we may have a chance to sit down and simply remember.  Until then, I hope you find comfort in knowing that so many join you - even if we can't be with you - in honouring  May's memory and in being thankful that she crossed our paths.

Francis, Mona, and family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Mae was such a sweet lady, I have fond memories of the  little chats we would have whenever I would see her.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our hearts are broken at the loss of sweet Aunt May.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful memories to carry with us.  Aunt May had the greatest smile and most infectuous laugh, oh that laugh.  She would have a whole room laughing even if you had no idea why or what your were laughing at.  You were welcomed into her home at any time and, if you were really lucky, got  to sample her amazing baking and cooking .  We nieces were  also the recipients of many outfits made by her skilled hands.  Her crocheting skills went above and beyond.  More than an Aunt, she was like a mother to us showing so much love and, sometimes, a stern word if needed.  Aunt May, you will be missed beyond measure.  I can only imagine the smile you have right now as you are surrounded by all the family and with Uncle Frank at your side once again.  We will love and miss you always.  Rest in peace wonderful lady.

May was much more than an great aunt, she was a second grandmother to me and my children, although they were her great grand neice and nephew she referred to them as her grandchildren. She was with me at the hospital for their births and all thru their lives. They thought the world of their aunt may💕. She was happiest when she was baking which her baking was second to non. You could always count on her to be the photographer at every event even if you didn’t want to smile she would make you with her cheerful personality. She never hung up the phone at night without saying I love you to everyone. She was much more than a great aunt but a great friend. Love and miss you 😢 

We are so sorry to hear the passing of Aunt May.  She was the last of that generation for most of us.

I remember her as a beautiful looking lady whose love for Uncle Frank could not be surpassed.  Her baking was delicious and she always had a smile and a home she would welcome you into.  I hope she is a peace.
