We are so sorry to hear the news.
Ms.Maxine has been a very sweet and special friend to me to share the interest of cooking and reading.
I have Ms.Maxine’s famous devil’s food cake recipe in my folder.
I deeply miss Ms.Maxine.
I did not know her birthday was just a day before my children’s birthday.
John,and Brian, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We have great memories of running into you and Maxine at Gaetano’s restaurant. We are only a phone call away or a short walk across the street if you need anything John. Ray says that your lawn is still the greenest.
