I am so sorry to hear about Maxine. I worked with her for several years at Sears where we always had a great time. Maxine was one of the sweetest people in our office and was loved by all. May she rest in peace now. She will be greatly missed by all.
It is always very sad to read about the loss of a loved one in death. May fond memories of Maxine always bring a smile to your face, as you await the reality of God’s promises on earth for our loved one who passed away. Please take a moment to reflect on what we find at Revelation 21:3-5; Isaiah 25:8; Psalm 37:11,29. I hereby offer my sympathy to you.
Maxine will be greatly missed. She lived a long, wonderful life and has left behind a beautiful daughter that has given my brother and me great joy.
We love you Maxine.
I was extremely fond of Ms. Brecount – such a woman of grace and peace. The love of God shone through her in an amazing way. I will greatly miss her. To Diana and the rest of the family, please know you are in my thoughts during this time. Thank you for the honor of being involved in Ms. Brecount’s life.
Maxine is in my Heart and will be missed so much. She was a dear Friend to me and would try and encourage me to come back to Elm Mott. I wish I had. I truly loved her and her kindness. God speed my Friend. I will miss hearing from you.
