Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceSadden to hear of Harry Mae's passing. She was so kind-hearted. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Ms. Harry Mae will definitely be miss. She cared for my grandmother (Janie Lou Deloach Brooker) until her death. She took real good care of her as if she was her very own mother. Her personality was sweet. She loved people regardless of what they had or didn't have. She always greeted me with a warm smile. We would laugh and talk about my grandma. I am going to truly miss Ms. Harry Mae. She knew that I loved her along with my aunts, uncles, and momma. I will always remember your smile and sense of humor Ms. Harry Mae. Rest on Peacefully!!!
On behalf of the Rocky Mount Missionary Baptist Church family, we extend our condolences and words of comfort and strength to the family. Isaiah 41:10 says "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." May God bless you and continue to watch over you during your time of bereavement and always.
Harry Mae was my cousin and very close to my parents. She really love her family. She was a very caring person to all regardless if you knew her or not. She always had the same smile from the days of school. I never heard her say anything negative about anyone. Because this was Harry Mae. Just recently,she and I hang out for a day in Hilton Head, visit a few stores, and had lunch. She told me I made her felt special and I told her it is because she is special. I am truly blessed to have known her as a person and as my cousin. She was just good people. Some will have photos but I will always have fond memories of her. God knows I wish I knew more like Harry Mae. I truly believe this world would be in a better place. As far as I am concerned, if you could not get along with Harry Mae, then something was wrong with you.
