Maxine Wilson and I worked for many years together. During that time I knew her as a sincere and devote christian. She's a classy lady, humble and beautiful inside and out. I have memories of so many things about her but especially of her love for her family. I loved Maxine as the wonderful woman she has been. May God bless your family and comfort you during this time. God's peace and love be with you all.

What I remember most about my Cuz was Her SMILE...
