Richard, Kathy, Beverly and Lois,
Lolita Brown told me Sunday about Aunt Willie Saye. I am so sorry I did not know about her passing. We were on a mission trip in Missouri last week. Treasure the good memories and keep them close to your heart.
Thank God you got to keep your mama with you on earth all these years! You were very blessed!
From all the sweet condolences I've read here I wish I had known Aunt Willie Saye more.
I will be thinking of you through the next days.
Keep smiling and looking up.
Love from your cousin,
Linda
(Johnnie and Irene Maxey)

I am so sorry to hear about the death of Ms Maxey. I lived out the road from the Maxey family growing up. The boys were always at our house playing with my brothers. I always thought alot of your mom. She was a very sweet lady. I know she will be missed.May God give you peace and comfort in the weeks and months to come.
