I just found about Maxine's passing today (1-23). Without her concern, I would not have gotten through a particular rough point in my life. My sincere condolences to the family. She was a very caring and gentle woman. I'm a better person for knowing her.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Ms. Maxine, I am truly sorry for your loss. Even though I havent seen you all in a while I've thought about you all and prayed that everyone was doing well. Ms. Maxine was always so nice to myself and my sisters, she always had a way of making everyone around her feel special. I am praying for the two of you and your family because I know you all are so very close.

Terra, Brandi, and Family,

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Ms. Maxine. Always reflect on the good memories of her. She was truly a very sweet, loving, and kind person. I will always remember the smile she carried so proudfully on her face everytime I saw her. My thoughts and prayers are forever with you. I just lost my father on July 7, 2007, and I miss him dearly. Not a day goes by that I don't think about the joy he brought to my life, and those wonderful memories is what helps me to get through the day. Keep the faith that the burden will get easier to bear.

Terra and Brandi,
My heart is so heavy right now with sorrow due to the passing of your mother, "Ms. Maxine". She was truly a blessing to so many people including myself. I recall times when I was down and she lifted me up. Her smile could brighten any room. Please try and rest assured that she feels no more pain and that her beautiful smile is now lighting up heaven. It is my prayer that she has a chance to meet my grandfather, for he entered heaven on July 7, 2007. I know that both of their spirits will bring so much joy and peace for all in heaven. Stay strong and know that she is at peace. I love you both and take care of yourselves and your family.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Tanekia R. Perry

I've known Maxine since our days together at CIGNA. We shared lots of good times along with other friends from the industry. I've not been in contact with her recently, but I'm truly shocked that she is gone. I most recently viewed her and her family on the TV Show "Deal or No Deal" and I was very happy to see you all. She was a good and kind woman who loved her family a great deal. Cherish your fine memories of her as I will. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
