    Our deep sympathy to you Gary & your children & grandchildren. Maxine was a great classmate & volleyball player in HS. I know she wanted to join us last year in June at our 50th Class Reunion in Prague. So sad she had to suffer & struggle so, but I know she truly wanted more time with her family & friends. May the fond memories you have be a comfort during this sad time. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you. May she Rest In Peace.
    Sincerely, George & Carolyn (Vanek) Novak

    Gary and family – We were so sorry to hear about Maxine. She was a very special lady who brought joy and compassion to all those around her. She was one of the best swim moms ever and we always knew our day would be brighter when we were fortunate enough to have Maxine in it. Writing this note saddens our hearts, but at the same time, we are both smiling thinking of the memories she gave us. We hope memories of Maxine help to bring peace to you and your family.
    Sincerely – Rusty and Debbie Mailliard and family

    Gary, this picture reminded me of Maxine’s great smile and kind words she always had for us. May God in his mercy lighten the burdens of your sadness and sorrow and console the grieving hearts of you and your family as you mourn her loss. We’ve lost a wonderful member of our “Neighborhood Family”. She will be missed by many.
