Larry, Rick, Kimmie, and everyone in the Stead family, I am so sorry for your loss & hope you all know we’re all here for you. Maxene was such a nice addition to the Smallwood family, no matter how much of a weirdo I was she always made me feel comfortable & welcome. I bet she & Nan Smallwood are off having a good laugh somewhere

To Larry and the Stead family:
So sorry to hear of Maxine’s passing. Marie and I wish to extend our sincere condolences.
I wish I could be with my family to both celebrate her and share my memories. . She is amazing in more ways than I can possibly write. She has taught me how to be a better person and the importance of family. She has taught me how to be a strong person. She has taught me about unconditional love. It is hard to let go, but I will hold on to the moments we shared and the memories of her forever. To my family – know I am there with you today and am grieving and remembering. I love you all so much.
Lawrence and family.
