    We were certainly privileged to take care of Maxine for the last few years and wish to express our codolences to the family. She enjoyed sitting in the livingroom and going outside to the deck to watch the birds and the animals next door. She will certainly be missed! One of us may try to make it on Tuesday, but, unfortuntely, Joyce and I work on Tuesdays and probably will not be able to attend.

    Dear Beth Anne : My sincere sympathy at the loss of Grammy . I know how much she meant to you . I will always remember visiting her and your Mom at the house in Uniontown. She always was laughing smiling or fussing about some crazy thing Alice had done ! Remember her with smiles and laughter. Blessings
