We got to know Max when she married Louis Strieter. Max was a classy, warm and funny lady who will be missed greatly by all who knew her. We will pray for all of her family and friends during this grieving process. kevin, donna and john randolph

Our family and the Strieter family spent alot of time together as youngsters. We did not know the Paris family, but loved their mom to pieces. Maxine was married to "our" Uncle Lou, as we called him. We shared many memorable moments with both of them in Cape May, Florida, and on his boat. They both will be missed.

Having grown up with two of Maxine's children, Chris and Carol,as my friends and classmates, I knew her as a warm and loving mother to them, and like a second mother to me. She was wonderful. Every one of us kids loved her. She made great sandwiches on the run. She made life somehow easier.

We knew Maxine and Louis for many years in Maryland but grew especially fond of them because we also live in Hobe Sound and belong to the Lost Lake Country Club as they did.

We will always remember Maxine. She was such a lady and we had so much fun together.
