Maxine and Troy were our neighbors years ago and we lovedthem both. After we moved from Cross Lanes, we still kept in touch.
Maxine loved her family and friends. She was so proud of David and of her granddaughter Jennifer (who we met when she was very young).
I'm so glad we had the opportunity to know this very special wonderful lady!
