Maxinne is missed every day. Memories of her are still very vivid yet I cannot share anything new with her. Still feels strange without her.

Words can not express the sadness I feel with the knowledge that Maxinne is no longer here with us. Her laugh, sense of humor, intelligence & kindness will be misses - but forever remembered. I am grateful for having had her in my life. Her friendship will always be cherished. May her friends & family be comforted in the knowledge that she was love & respected by all.

I worshipped Maxinne when I was little; I treasured her as I grew up. She was smart, funny, accomplished; she loved to laugh & had a quirky sense of humour. She worked hard, listened closely and embraced life. She made my mother laugh (they were "partners in crime"), and I learned from her. Formative experiences in my life happened in Maxinne's company; she & my mother made sure of that. She'll be missed. I loved her.
