Dear Mrs. B. We loved you and we will miss you - your wit, your laugh, your creativity, your energy, your ability to make everyone feel at home, and your delicious steamed crabs! Your "honeymoon cottage" was a very special place to me and to my family. We always felt so welcome and at home.

I know how much your family loved you and will miss you, but what wonderful memories they have for comfort.
With much love,
The Cranstons

Maude was a beloved friend of our family for 60 years. Maude's laughter and outlook towards life will always be remembered and missed. She and my mother remained close from the early years when they were having babies through their senior years.
Their love and loyalty to each other was very special. Maude enjoyed life and alll around her benefited being around such a positive person. She will be missed.
