Susie and my hearts ache because of Maxey’s passing. But oh what a glorious reunion that’s going on. There’s a grand new voice in the choir. Looking forward to our reunion day, when we’ll all be together again. Maxey, you finished your race in style…

Maxey was a great friend who I enjoyed being around. Playing golf, singing or even working together, we were buddies. Of all the time I have known Maxey he never had a negative spirit. Never said any thing bad about anything or anyone. Even when he found out about his sickness he made a statement that I will never forget. He said Dan if I died tomorrow I have no regrets God has been so good to me. l love him and I’m going to miss him dearly. Linda we love you, and Donna and I are thankful we got to know you and Maxey. If Donna and I can help you in any way let us know.
