Jay, Reid & Family
Maude was a wonderful Christian person and she is with her Lord. I have fond memories when I was growing up and going to church and sitting next to Maude and Sandy on Sunday nights. I looked for her at church on Sunday morning and I heard that afternoon that she had passed. I am sorry for your loss and I know you will miss her very much.

I just want to say that Maude was a wonderful and faithful member of the TTT class at Garden City Baptist Church. When I first came to Garden City it was Maude that met me in the parking lot and led me to the TTT class and make me welcome in the church. I will always remember that act of kindness on her part. I ask blessings on the whole family at this time. Maude has gone to her eternal home and all of us are momentarily left behind to remember her as she was.
