Maxine was a wonderful friend to my mother(Sylvia Brooks). She was a special person to many with a beautiful heart. She has many friends and loved ones to welcome her into Heaven!
Sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a good friend to me and my husband, Jim, while we lived at Riverview. After we moved to Bethany I was able to visit her there. Jim and Lyle were good friends too. I will miss her. My deepest sympathy to your family.
My heartfelt sympathy to Maxine’s family. I have many fond memories of Maxine growing up in Norman Church. Hoping all the good memories will bring you peace at this difficult time.
Keith Roger Darryl and families. So sorry to say goodbye to your mom. She was such a bright light in our family and another mom for me. I thought of her often and always with a smile on my face and warm feelings in my heart. Hard to live so far away from family moments like this. So sad to miss spending this day with you. Cherish each memory and know that both your parents are together and happy again
