We just found out that Maxine passed away. I'm sorry we didn't know in time to attend the service. Even though, she hasn't been a part of our lives for a few years, she meant so much to my father-in-law. God bless you all.

Maxine, Rosemary, and myself have spent many good times playing tennis. I would work in the wee hours of the morning and take off from there to meet them on the court and Maxine would have my little water thermos there waiting on so that I wouldn't be inconvienced. She was such a joy to be around and always gave me encourgement during trying times in my life. Even though I cannot come to the service, I will be thinking of my friend whom I never will forget. Rest in Peace, Sweet Maxine.
