"During my over five years of residing at Colonial Oaks Assisted Living, Maxine Blake is one of the most appreciated of the many quality residents I have met here.  I found her to be a well-balanced and deeply committed Christian whose views of life were both interesting and inspirational.  To get to know many of her family was also a privilege.  I regret that I cannot be with you to honor her home-going, but I shall always remember her touch upon my life."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Blake family on the loss of Maxine.  She was a very special lady, and was my "adopted mother" after my own mother died back in 1991.  She always made you feel at home, cooked wonderful meals, and she loved her family beyond measure!  She always had many pictures of her family sitting around and proudly showed you the most recent pictures of her grandkids, etc. that she had received.  We will all miss her, but know she is now with her Heavenly Father, whom she loved with all her heart.  God Bless you, Blake family.....your mom raised a wonderful family and I love each one of you!   Jerrine and Don Warner"
