Dear Family,

I am sorry to hear of Great Aunt Maxine's passing! She was a wonderful woman! When I think of Maxine I think of Great-Grannie Ethel, Grandaddy Leonard Jarrells.... they all pocessed a laid back love for life, fun and laughter! (Maxine's eyes twinkled when she smiled!) When I think of Maxine I think of beautiful home-made quilts made with love and the most beautiful, precise tiny stitches.... crafts to be given out to others to make them think of family and all the love in her heart! I have a couple of Maxine's quilts that I cherish and always will! She was/ is a good soul! I can just see her now, sitting at Jesus feet, smiling, getting ready to quilt with silvers & golds like nothing she has ever seen!! May God bless, encourage and give each of you strength.... His grace will see you through!!

With love & appreciation!!

Sincerely, Teresa Viers Saul
