Maxine was my customer at the bank for many years, when she was in the Falls. She always brightened my day. It was sad to have her move away. It's also sad to read of her passing. She was such a warm, sweet lady. She always glowed when she spoke of her sons.Rest in peace Maxine, you truly were a beautiful woman, that touched many hearts.
