Rest In Peace our beloved neighbor of more than 50 years.
A very special person to all and will be truly missed,
I’m a little late to the game, out of the area, I hadn’t heard that May had passed. I’m so delighted she got to live such a long life. Some of my favorite memories as a child in Illinois, involve May. She was so wonderful to our family and to me. I loved hanging around her and in the years since we’ve moved, I’ve thought of her many many times with a smile and a fond memory. She will be missed. Rest in Peace May! Love you.
