I worked with Maxine at Lutheran hospital and always thought of you as the nicest person I ever met. Even though I was miles and miles away I thought of you often. I hope that if you're son-in-law ever played any of my old albums for you ,you thought of me too. My heart goes out to your family.

Thinking of you all and sending condolences on behalf of my dad, Karl Schroeder. Also sending my own condolences. I have fond memories of Maxine from the many times in high school I visited the Knipstein house.
