Staff and residents of the center made the following comments about her passing. ’’Maxine’s friends, staff and residents of the Care Center, met Monday morning to discuss our feelings and console one another because she had died and was no longer with us. "We remembered how always loving and caring of each one of us she had been. We remembered how she could amazingly let us know her wishes even though she could not communicate with her voice. We said how she loved her family - children and grandchildren - and showed everyone their pictures on the walls of her room as well as the presents she had bought for them. "Maxine never dropped out because of her disability - she greatly desired being included in everything - bus rides, special trips, exercise - you name it. You might say that she got in the spirit of things - and how wonderful - we all said - she was still with us in spirit so very much and lives on - in our memories and in heaven."
