  1. Such a sweet lady, I was Maxine’s hospice volunteer. When I visited with her on Tuesday, she told me she had 4 of the sweetest boys around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  2. Ms. Maxine was such a sweet lady! I have known her my whole life and as long as I’ve known her, she was so loving! My condolences to the family!

  3. Such a beautiful lady. My parents thought the world of both her and her husband. I am sure they are having some celebration in heaven!!!

  4. We are so very sorry. Aunt Maxine is so special to us. Wish we could be with you. At least you know we are thinking of you and love all of you.

Y’all are in Randy & my thoughts and prayers.~~Randy & Connie Hodges
