Max,

I just heard the news. I can't believe you're gone. You were such a light for so many. You are so loved and missed.

Maxine weenie! My precious auntie. You've always been more than just my aunt you've been like a big sister to me. My confidant, encourager and my friend. I don't want to continue life without you but I know we must. You will be missed so much. I'm gonna miss your firecracker spirit, your groovy vibe and your giving soul. Please rest easy and know what an impact you had on everyone's life. I will do my best to honor your memory everyday and promise to watch over Jared as much as I can. Weenie I love you forever! ❤️‍🩹

My love, there are too many great memories and moments with you, these are just a few. We did everything together from battling all 4 years of high school, prom, college, joining the Navy together, meeting a mini version of you, sweet Jared. I will always cherish these memories. Thank you for showing me what true love and friendship was for so many years. You’ll forever be in my heart, like you would always say, you and I will always be together.

She was such a sweet and kind person. She had a positive outlook on people. She helped me through some rough patches of my life. I learned from her and her example. I will truly miss her and our talks together.

I met Maxine through the Whidbey Playhouse. We recently swapped messages on Linkedin about her recent success in nursing school. She was an actor in the Lion in Winter. In the attached picture, she is in the first row, second from the left. She was delightful, warm-hearted person whose smile could light up a room. She will be missed. Stan Thomas

I remember the day we finally met in person when you stopped in Woodland,CA. Just so I could see my daughter. At the time you were dating my ex husband. I was so grateful to you. We talked and laughed together. We became friends. From time to time I would check in on you I wish I had done that more. I’m going to miss our talks and trying to uplift each other. Thank you Maxine for being such a great and positive person that I got the opportunity to get to know. Rest in peace sweet soul.
