To the family of Maxine I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for all and sending love to all.
So sorry for your loss. Family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Sweet Aunt Maxine, you will be missed by many people. This world has lost an amazing cook, baker, and seamstress. Thank you for loving us and our children down through the years and for teaching me how to crochet. We will miss your sweet laughter at our Christmas eve gathering, but you will be forever in our hearts. I wish you could have made just one more trip to Hawaii. It is comforting to know that you are no longer hurting and are wrapped in Jesus’ loving arms.
So sorry for the loss of your mom. My prayers are with you and the family.
Missing you already. Many years of memories from wedding bouquets, quilts, crafts and lots of yummy food! You were the sweetest person ever! I know you’re having a blast with Nanny and Granddaddy. So thankful the hurting is no more! We’ll meet again one day 💕
