Maxine was a real Piner supporter. She also was a great FFA supporter. When I think of Piner, I always think of her. Betsy Rimmer

Paula and Family,
I am so sorry to here about the loss of Maxine. As a next door neighbor of Paul and Maxine for years on Patricia street I became very good friends with both. It was a shock to here about Paul and even a bigger shock to here about Maxine. I will dearly miss both and pray that Paul and Maxine again are living it up in Heaven.
