My family goes back so far with Maxine. I learned that popcorn was actually grown at Inas home in Port Acres. Later I babysat Jody and David when Maxine and Pat needed a sitter for their precious angels. That now seems like eons ago. I have many nice memories of your family and you all are remembered in my prayers at this time of your loss. May the prayers and memories over the years comfort you.
