Dale, Lavaughn and I are so sorry to hear that your Mom passed. I remember going to Washington DC when you and Kandi were in the 8th grade I think it was History day nationals and we rode a bus from Arkansas and we played tribual pursuit and found out real fast that Maxine was very smart as she answer all the questions. They even had some wrong that Maxine told us that was wrong and she was right. I am so sorry for your loss . We all are going to miss her. Love you
With loving memory of a wonderful lady. She took care of me just like her own. She always had a smile on her face that just instantly put one on yours. Will miss her.
