  2. Sorry for the loss of your mother Mr. Brett. I’ll be praying for you and your family.

  3. I was saddened to learn of Maxine’s passing. Maxine was a special friend after years of visiting her as a BSA Hospice visitor. I enjoyed Becoming acquainted with Brett and helping on occasion to send cards or letters to other family. My sympathy to all the family. Whenever I hear Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me Lord?”, I will remember it was a favorite of Maxine’s.
