My Dear Aunt Maxine will be greatly missed by all of our families. I have many many fond memories of her all the way back to my childhood. Being with her family and my Grandparents are among the most cherished days I have had in my entire life. The wonderful foods that she prepared from her garden, and the great pies she made from scratch. No one could prepare a dinner the way she did. I will miss her and treasure all those memories for the rest of my life. These sentiments are also shared by my siblings, Jerry, Jackie, Bruce, Jim and Chuck. We love you.

Mrs. Annett, as I always addressed her a such, touched my life in a very special way. Her tenderness towards her students, and her ambition to see her pupils learn, inspired me to become a better individual and to set my goals high. I have often used her as an example to my congregation as being one of the kindest people I ever knew. Mrs. Annett was my first grade teacher 56 years ago, at Green Valley District 110. God called home His special "child", however, I know I will see her again someday. My condolences to the family.
