I have known Maxine almost since the day I was born. She will always be remembered as the woman who graced our lives from the beginning with her warmth, generosity of spirit, and infectious laugh. Many a holiday or celebration was spent with her making great memories. Maxine had the propensity to always make us feel loved and that is deeply etched in my heart. My apologies for not knowing about this sooner being out of the city... my love and condolences go out to her whole family, and especially Audrey and Charles, my childhood friends, who she cherished.

Maxine was a wonderful woman. I will not forget the friendship and kindness that she showed do my late wife Patti during her recovery from heart surgery and then a stroke. Maxine always was a calming presence and a good listener who help me and my wife during difficult times. Rest in Peace, Maxine.
