    Maxine took care of me as the nanny for my brothers and I when I was young. We called her Nanna. I have fond childhood memories of her as the sweetest woman in the world, taking care of me with love and compassion. I will always have a big place in my heart for Maxine. I’m so glad she is in Paradise now with Jesus!

    Maxine (nanna) is part of many fond childhood memories of mine. I am sorry for your loss, and I will always remember what she did for me growing up.
    Thanks,
    Douglas Weaver
