Aunt Maxine influenced me in my teenage years. She was working at CSX and was deeply in love with my Uncle Lloyd. She had everything. Looks, a good job, a wonderful son and a handsome, successful man. She was an inspiration to a young teenage girl in the 60's. All she could talk about was marrying my Uncle and how much she loved him.
Aunt Maxine, thank you for your inpiration that I doubt seriously you realized you gave me. We frequently influence people without realizing it. I hope your life was everything you had hoped for and that my Uncle brought you the happiness you were seeking. We will miss your smiling face.
I have kept this guess book open permanently in your honor as a token of my appreciation.
Love Your Niece,
Patty

More than 50 years have passed since I last saw Maxine as a teenager in Jackson Heights community, Tampa, Florida. I remember her as a lovely young woman with a lot of spirit! May God's love surround you, now and always.

Lloyd and dear family,
Maxine was so very dear to me when we were growing up in Jackson Heights because of her love for Jesus, family and friends. You know better than I that she maintained that love throughout her life and has now experienced her first glimpse of heaven because of it and we will all see her there someday.
All of you are in my prayers because of your sadness at this time.
Please share my thoughts and prayers with Ken and the other brothers and sisters for me if you will......
