Oh, my, Maxine. I did not know that she had passed away. Maxine and I were friends for years in Rocky Mount, always doing something. She was a sweet friend and I am so sorry we lost touch for so long. I did not know her married name and could never locate her. Maxine, thank you for your friendship and all the times we had together. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart. God hold you and keep you. I love you.
