I am so sad to read that Maxine has passed on. Having lived in the cottage on you Moms' property for many years, I got to know your Mom and knew how very proud she was of all of you kids and your families. This is the Season you all would come together,to laugh, love and share. I will never forget Maxi. In time, you will be able to come together with joy again. Maxine was strong in life and she will be with you, strong in spirit. You are in my prayers Love, Claudia

Just friends of Max but we'll sure miss her. She loved her family and life. One of the most colorful people we've ever met. She had a way of connecting to anyone young or old.

I work with her daughter Lauri who has told me some lovely stories about Maxine. Maxine was loved so much by many. It is so hard on families when they lose a loved one. I am sure Maxine is playing in the heavenly band now and smiling on us all.

Aunt Maxine was a special aunt and loved much. We enjoyed the many times we spent together in WV. Such great memories. My mom, who was here sister, really loved her and talked about the good times they shared. Now they will be together again in heaven. They will make great music together.

Sorry to hear of Maxine's passing. When we lived in Daytona Bch, She was always very helpful with our travel plans. Cheerful every time we visited or talked to her on the phone. A very informed travel agent, and will be missed.
