I still think of Max all the time and miss her and all of our silly conversations! What a great laugh she had. Ill never forget her surprising me at my 50th birthday party. She was too young to leave us so early.

We've been trying to get our heads around the loss of Maxene. I'm so glad we had talked shortly before getting the sad news. Max was my greatest college friend and we've kept in touch for more than 50 years. I'll miss her so much . . . her great laugh, her kindness, so many memories of our times together . . . maybe not as frequent as we would have liked but all so memorable.
RIP Max.

Saddened to hear of Max's passing. I knew her years ago and we often had lunch together and great conversation. I also would like to know details of her passing as I have not heard from her since she retired. Mary Bolger. [email protected]
