Maxine was a kind and sweet woman. I was in Big Spring, cooked black eyed peas and cornbread and took some to her. She enjoyed the country food so much. She ate it up! All my love and prayers to all the family.

Kay: We were away on vacation and just returned and heard your message. I am so sorry for the loss of Aunt Maxine. I know all of you will miss her greatly. Dixie is right--what a joyous reunion Maxine will have with all our family. Our thoughts and love to each of you girls and your families.

I have a lot of wonderful memories of your Mother. She made the best fried eggs for breakfast. She gave me good hugs when I would come back to visit. Cheering for our football team. A faithful and dear member of the Church. A lover of shoes. Maxine and Edie have a special place in my heart with the warmest of thoughts. Love, Dolores
