My thoughts and prayers are with you Gracie. Maxie was a great man, I am so glad I had the pleasure of getting to know him and him seeing me grow up. I remember the times he would push Natalie up and down the street on her little car, he always enjoyed being around my kids and my Samantha especailly loved Maxie, she was always worried about him when she saw him outside. He will be truly missed by my family. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
