It was a privilege and a pleasure to care for Mrs Raynard when she was hospitalized, and to witness how much her family loved her and how attentively they looked after her. She was a wonderful lady.
My Dearest Aunt Maxine, you were a wonderful sister to my mom and a simply wonderful Aunt to Tania and myself. we loved you and will miss you. Please know to me what a lucky lady I am to have had a Aunt Maxine, who without fail always filled my heart with her love and laughter, always made me feel special and loved, and that is a powerful feeling, without question she was always willing to help, give advise, her opinion was wise and helpful throughout the years, so much to say with such little space. I am lucky and proud to be able to call her My Aunt Maxine, and I thank her for all she did in so many different ways, I love you, will miss you and wish you peace on your new journey xoxo
