I remember growing up at the Maynard house, I was at their house more than my own.(I even wormed my way into one of there family photos!) I loved Bro. & Sis Maynard like my own parents... I feel a loss since they are both gone now.... but I know the loss is ours, but its heavens gain. I can picture them re-united in heaven walking on streets of gold and it makes me rejoice to know that they are resting with Jesus.

There will forever be a whole in my heart for the loss of this wonderful lady. My condolences to all of her family, especially her children. Just know your mother loved and took care of so many outside her immediate family and for that I am grateful as I am sure so many feel the same way. Heaven must have needed another angel
