Maxine and Bert were great friends of my parents for many years and I remember their group having so many wonderful times together. Maxine was very kind and caring throughout her life. What Ill remember most about her is how much she loved her children and grandchildren. R.I.P.

My mom, Peg Burnham, asked me to send a note. She also worked at Holden Hospital and told me how she so enjoyed working with Maxine. She also loved the Christmas parties at Maxines house. She had a special place in my mom's heart. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Peace
