I will forever remember the great times that we have spent together over the last 30 years. Our trips to the auctions to check out the Tiger Maple furniture, our button collection searches,our ballet and
opera outings and of course our mutual love of gardening. I was always amazed at your knowledge of the botanical names of any plant we viewed. You added so much to Garden
Club and have always been appreciated by your attendances and many contributions. I will always,as I have think of you immediately at every appearance of strawberries in any form. No matter how you were,we never spoke that you didn't ask how I was and how my family was doing, and I know that you really were interested.
You have been a good friend...
Your love of family was always apparent and ever present.
Your pride and appreciation for them has always been apparent to me.
You were loved and will be missed,
As ever, fondly, your friend,
Carol Ann DeSiena

I met Maxine here in Florida about 6 years ago. She has been a great inspriation to me allowing me to get past some hurdles, as she herself had to do. She is a wonderful person, fantastic personality even in her darkest most painful days. A class act. I hope that Max is resting in peace and pain free, she has touched my life and never be forgotten. I will miss you my friend

Jeffrey and family, Maxine spoke with admiration and love of you all.
She expressed her thankfulness for all you have done for her now and in the past. We are grateful that she is released from her trials and know that she wants us all to remember her in our good times and shared
friendship. She was a special Lady and friend. She will be missed.
