It is interesting that our paths crossed only a few times at West Community School and once or twice thereafter, but the impact of Maxine Sweet, Maurine and Sheryl and their Christian testimony has been life-long. From this family I learned how a Christian family should function. May your hearts be comforted by His love.

Thinking of you and your family, Maurine and Sheryl. Though you have been tremendously blessed by having your mom with you this long, the separation is still difficult.
What comfort there is in gathering together, looking at pictures, sharing stories, smiling, laughing, crying....
I pray that this will indeed be a celebration of her life. Much love, Karen Miller
