We would like to sincerely thank all that took part in her phenomenal care these past several months: thank you to every family member that dropped everything they were doing, rearranged their schedules and sacrificed so many hours and days to help with Maw Maw. Thank you to Acadian Medical Center and their amazing staff, to Dr. Zebediah Stearns, Dr. Randy Miller, her loving sitters, and Hope Health Care and Hospice in Lafayette and their wonderful compassionate staff especially her nurses and aides.
Maxine was known to be such a sweet, loving woman by all who knew her. To those she was closest to, she was sassy, funny, and a little firecracker. She was our “Little ray of sassy sunshine.’ To know her was to know love, to be accepted for who you are, and to always have someone in your corner no matter what. There are no words to describe how much we will miss our sweet “Mackie.”
