Read MoreI often wonder what Maid would be like today: fully grown, tender, always reaching upward, giving, fruitful. It saddens me that she was taken so early from us!

Over spring break i took my grandkids to Disneyworld. They used to be playmates of Maid. They loved all things Disney! My grandkids are now young adults and still love Disney. I think Maid would too. You are sorely missed, dear child!!

It's been years since I last saw her and I can't believe she's really gone. But, on the up-side, she'll forever live in our memories and hearts with all the joy she filled our lives with.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. She was a wonderful person with such cultivating stories. Though she was as American as apple pie, I believe her family tree shows that her roots go back to England with Newton. She had such strong core values. I hope her spirit lives on forever.

I never personally met Maid Appleton, but from stories I've heard she is very sweet and the apple of her parents eye. She will be sadly missed.

I never had the chance to meet Maid, but the many stories I have heard and the many pictures I have seen reflect her sweet personality. She has inspired me in many ways and has impacted my life beyond measure.
