I'll always remember Maxine taking me in when I was 6 for a couple of weeks when my parents had to go out of state. I don't remember a lot, but I do remember we had dinner one night and she laughed at me when I drank her milk. She was an awesome person. I will miss you Maxine! I am sorry for losing touch the past few years.

G.G~ I miss you every second and every second is harder. If it weren't for you i wouldn't be who I am today. I wouldn't even be here. You have tought me so much and I am very thankful for that. I really wish you waited for me that Tuesday I was only minutes away from saying goodbye. I can't blame you though, god needed you with him and he couldn't wait. Now you are with her husband, daughter, and 3 sisters. I have never met them but im sure they were very dear to you. I'm thinking of you...

Now that she is gone i do not know what to do . She is always going to be in my thoughts and prayers . I loved her very much .I'm sad she is gone.

You are so beautiful Gramma. I love you so much. I hope you know how much you gave me and Ricki and Kaela and Kenzie. My mom is strong and giving because of you. Your kindness, strong will, and faith flows through our veins and you will be part of us forever. We will pass your love on to our children, and our children's children. I love you. I miss you. - your loving Grandaughter, Katie
