My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I am deeply sadden to have lost my pastor. I grew up in Ivy with Angela and have been a member all my life. Dr Maxwell was a wonderful pastor, teacher and example with a wonderful family. He impacted a great many lives. I can remember when he and his wife (Gladys) prepared me for the CH Wilson Oratorical contest, when I was 13, in which we won. I miss you all and Dr. Maxwell will truly be missed.

My heart goes out to the Maxwell Family, I have known most of ya'll during the days when I worked at the Oasis. Then in 1998 Mr Maxwell married my husband & I. He was truly an angel from God, he allowed the Jesus inside of him to shine in all that he endevered His gentle & kind Spirit, will forever be a cherished memory for both myself & my husband. God truly blessed everyone on this earth, that came into Sen. Maxwells path. I am sorry, I didn't see more of him during the years. My prayers...

I was saddened to hear of Pastor Maxwell's Homegoing, yet gladdened because I know he is resting in G-d's loving arms. May G-d continue to keep the Maxwell family in His Care. (Daughter of Clayton (deceased) and Dorothy Harris - past members of Ivy Baptist under Pastor Maxwell)

I am keeping each of you in prayer at the loss of Pastor Maxwell. I will continue to pray for Gladys and family as you adjust to your daily loss and changes you face without Pastor Maxwell. He truly was a man of God who preached, taught, and lived thus saith the Lord.
Hold to God's unchanging hands.
