Maxine was on the 200 floor at the nursing home, as my Mother (Marcella Weakley). I visited the home nightly to feed Mom. Maxine always had a smile as I spoke to her. May she rest in peace.

Grandma was a wonderful person. I will never forget going to Lake Charles and spending the summer with her and Grandpa. I will miss you always. Love you Grandma!

Maxine was a special sister. She was two years older than me, therefore she helped me in many many ways. God bless you my sweet sister.
