I remember her from up at the Cloverleaf Lakes...remember those days???!!! That's when I got to met and know the daughters. Maxine was a very nice lady. Seemed like she was always smiling. May your many fond memories help you though your tough times. Becky (Rebecca) is same age as me/same high school class.
