Dwight and family: So very sorry to hear about Maxine. We thought the world of her and Buddy. We will miss our friends and were glad to have them in our lives. What a long life she had! Love in Christ.
Dwight and family so sorry to hear about Maxine you are all in our prayers
Dwight and family, my thoughts are with you as you say so long to your Mother. May she rest in peace as she lived in her life. Love to all.
Maxine was a wonderful and sweet Lady. I know that Dwight and I gave her fits with our camping out, dove hunting and motorcycles, but her goodness and support never wavered. I know we will see her again when the roll is called up yonder.
My Prayers for the Family and Friends. Rest in the knowledge that the memory of her will remain with us forever.
