Aunt Maxine, We came by to tell you of my Mom's (BettyHughes') passing, but we missed you. I wish we could have seen you one last time before you followed her home just one short month later. So many happy, fun memories lighten my heart. I was so lucky to have a childhood on Bryan Avenue where all us kids were indeed raised by a loving village! We will miss you, but rejoice in your wonderful eternal home with our Lord!

Im saddened by this news -- I'll miss you Aunt Maxine. I'll never forget my mom taking us to Spears to see you when we'd come to Groves. The last I saw you was in August of 2012 when I was down there visiting my grandfather. We stopped in to say hello and have a quick visit. I remember your comment to me about how much I reminded you of my mom, Sherry... I hope you see my mom and hug her for me...love you!!

The most recent and best memories I have of my grandmother are the Sundays we went to church together right before COVID. The conversations on the way there and back were the best. I just wish I'd spent more time with her.

Dear Maxine, I love you so much and will miss you forever. I was with you for 47 years. Ronnie and I included you in almost every single holiday. Maxine always called to see what we were doing. She always came anytime we were in the hospital. She treated me like a daughter and she was my second mother. Our last visit was Saturday evening. She ate and had a Dr Pepper, her favorite drink. She wanted out of bed so we put her in a chair. She was so happy! I'm glad our last memory was so good. Until we meet again. Hug my mother, dad, and my sisters for me. Love you always! Fran

Marcy and I were trying to be sneaky with Mrs Maxine. But she was no dummy. She a lot of times new exactly what we were up to. But would catch us in the act after the shenanigans In those days she was like a mother to me too and I love her for that. She would get on to me just like she would Marcy. Marcy I love you and I know she's watching of all of y'all. She will be missed!!!

I was sadden to hear the news that my grandmother had passed away. Being the oldest grandchild I have fond memories of her. I would get so excited to surprise at Spears when we would come to Groves to visit. The last time I spoke with her she had called me to let me know Daryl had passed away. Through the years I have thought about her often. Rest In Peace 🙏🏻 Leslie Lovelace Hymel
