I am so sorry to hear of Maxine’s passing. She was such a dear sweet lady. Always so kind and gentle. I have so many good memories of Maxine helping with the tobacco farming and just all around visits with her. I didn’t see her often, but I sure did think of her and will miss her.
So sorry to her of Maxine’s passing. A sweet wonderful lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with u all.
I just want to say to Debra and family that I am sorry to hear about your mama’s passing. She was a nice lady and a hard worker. May the Lord comfort you all.
Dear family, I am deeply saddened by the grief you are feeling.
Knowing of God’s embracing love for you, continue looking to him when ” he will wipe out all tears from our eyes, death, pain, and suffering will be no more. ” – Revelation 21:3,4
He says death is an ” enemy that will be brought to nothing. ” – 1 Corinthians 15:26
How it comforts our hearts to know that this pain will be a thing of the past and through Christ a resurrection for our loved ones.
love from a stranger,

Debra and Family, My thoughts,love and prayers are with you all during this diffcult time.Your hearts hold a lot of love and memories for you to always treasure.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I remember Mrs. Maxine as “ Granny” because that’s what she always was to all that came in contact with her. As a child when I would visit she always made me feel so welcomed and just like another grandchild! Even when I would see her at church and call her “Granny” she always gave the biggest smile and biggest hugs! Hold on to all of your sweet memories of such a special strong lady! ❤️
I am so sorry about Maxine, she was a very sweet and kind lady
