My heart goes out to Maxine's family. I met her many years ago through the VFW Auxillary and then ended up a co-worker of hers at Sam's club in the Demo Department. She was a sweet lady and she will be missed.

Bonnie and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Gene and the entire Frontz family during these trying times. It was a absolute pleasure to be in the company of Max since she was so upbeat, had a smile for everyone, and always a kind word to share with us all. Max will be missed but never forgotten. She shall live on in our hearts and prayers. My God Bless the Frontz family and keep them steadfast.
