Laurie, Colleen, Don, and families,
I was heartbroken to hear today that Maxine has passed away. Being neighbours on O’Neil Ave until I was married, I have so many memories of both our families together for summer and winter events and sitting in the front step talking during long summer nights. Her long black hair always amazed me as did her beautiful smile.
She was a kind soul and will be I know she will be missed.
Sending you our love,
Susan Rowe (Williams) and family
