Not sure what to say?

You are still missed and thought of so often.

Maxine was a wonderful friend to me and my family when we moved to Arizona. She was such a wonderful cook and I still have recipes that she gave me. I will miss her very much.

Grandma, My most cherished childhood memories are when Mom and Dad would take us to see you and Grandpa in Chandler Heights.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Maxine was the across the hall neighbor of my mother's (Anne Seiler) in assisted living until her passing. She was so dear to my Mom and me. Maxine was one of the sweetest people I've ever met and your family was as lovely as she. I left a few mementos with her to remember us by. She had been on my mind so much. I'm so sorry for your loss - such a lovely woman. A Mom is forever in our hearts.

Maxine we share 85 years of memories from Texas to Arizona. I love you and will miss you dear friend.

Maxine you were such a wonderful role model for me when I was young. Your caring ways and wonderful smile will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to all of the family because I know what a wonderful person you were, but I know that they will carry that on as you taught them well. My thoughts and prayers go with them in their time of healing. So sorry I am unable to be there for service but my heart will be.
