Shortly after that she became a devoted housewife and full- time mother. She had 3 biological children but adopted so many others in her heart. Maxine love the Lord Jesus Christ, spending time with her family, playing farkle or spades. She enjoyed Facebook, vacations in Missouri, the occasional scratch off, casinos, fishing, flowers, shopping at the Women’s Shelter and loved cooking for her family. Maxine was for sure was the best cook in Texas. Her biscuits and gravy were always the family’s favorite and made with such love. A couple of things she didn’t like, #1 someone mistreating those that she loved and she would fight fiercely! The second thing was mornings (if you know, you KNOW!)

As I sit in heaven

And watch you everyday

I try to let you know with signs

I never went away

I hear you when you’re laughing

And I watch you as you sleep

I even place my arms around you

To calm you as you weep

I see you wish the days away

Begging to have me home

So I try to send you signs

So you know your not alone

Don’t feel guilty that you have

Life that was denied to me

Heaven is truly beautiful

Just you wait and see

So live your life, laugh again

Enjoy yourself, be free

Then I know with every breath you take

You’ll be taking one for me..
