Maxine, you fought a good fight and have returned to you true home where Nicholas was alongside Jesus awaiting your arrival. You were so good to Mark when we were at the diner...think of you often as I pass the old place.

Dear Maxine,

I just now learned of your passing. I know the Lord has you in his love and light and you are no longer suffering. I always enjoyed our chats and your loving hugs. I pray the lord heals your family’s hurting hearts. 🙏🏻
