On behalf of the Harrington family, we extend our deepest sympathy to the Byrd family. Mrs. Ida Mae and Mr. Alex were dear friends of ours. Mae and her children were like family to our family. God has truly gained an Angel to His kingdom. She lived a beautiful life. Thank God for her children who took great care of her. Rest peacefully, Mae!
