I am so very sorry for your loss. Mae was the sweetest, most kind hearted woman I ever knew. I know she will be greatly missed.
Mrs. Overby was one of the most beautiful (inside and out) ladies I have had the honor of knowing. She exuded sweetness, even her voice was like a sweet melody. She was blessed to have a family that loved her dearly and did everything possible to make her life good. To the family, Johnnie and I pray you find much comfort in that.

I am so sorry about your loss. I truly enjoyed the time I got to spend taking care of her. She was such an amazing woman who never let her light dull. Most of all I can definitely say she loved God with all her heart. We would talk about God every time I set foot in her room. And I will forever cherish those memories of her. And I pray that God gives you all the peace and strength to get through this difficult time. Just remember the good times and know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
