Please accept my deepest regrets for your loss." "I was deeply saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a great inspiration to me as a teenager.
I wish you comfort during this time of grief. May your mother’s soul rest in peace.





Maxine was a true blessing to me and my family. We worshiped together at New Hope for 20 plus years. She was always there for me through good times and bad for which I will be eternally grateful. Maxine tirelessly served the the Lord and the people of New Hope.  If you were coughing she would tap you on the shoulder and hand you a cough drop. If you were crying she would hand you a personal size package of tissue. If you were new she'd greet you and get you a "Welcome Packet." The list of things that she did could go on and on But the list of things she did behind the scenes would be much much longer. That was just Maxine's way. 

Bob and I were fortunate to know and love Maxine. We worshipped and served together for over 20 yrs at church.  She was a strong woman of faith. She knew Gods word and relied on it every day.  She didnt always tell you she cared but she certainly showed her love for others. She took blessing bags with essentials to the homeless sometimes twice a week. She served the church quietly but profoundly. We kidded her by saying if she wasn't there the building would collapse. A personal fond memory for me was every spring she brought me a bouquet of her gorgeous lilacs. She knew they were my favorite. We are sad she is gone but we are rejoicing in where she has gone. We will see her again when we get to Heaven. Until then, we'll hold on to the fond memories of knowing her. We pray for Jeff and others who will miss her greatly. May God comfort them and assure them that she is rejoicing with Jesus.

Ms  Maxine was such a dedicated Christian woman.  I remember one Sunday morning at church, she gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her garden!  She loved everyone.  
 Jerry would tease Ms. Maxine and she loved the teasing.   See you in heaven, Ms Maxine!
