Maude has a special place in my heart. She used to babysit Mike, Tony , Pam and me when we were growing up . She had a wonderful laugh and it was always fun when she was with us. She played bob jacks often with me and was quite good at it. Maude liked everyone and everyone liked her. Even to this day when someone speaks of her, a big smile comes across my face. RIP Maude we love you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. There is a very comforting scripture found at Isaiah 25:8. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can look forward to a time when death will be done away with forever. I hope that this scripture can bring some comfort during this time.

I got to know Mrs. Maude 35 years ago. She was an exceptional lady. Always had a smile on her face and was just as sweet a person as she could be. Always looked forward to seeing her. She is definitely going to be missed. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I fondly remember Miss Maude's loving, proud and motherly disposition towards me throughout my life. Whenever I was blessed to return home for worship service at Bethlehem she always greeted me with a smile and warm hug. We will all surely miss her physical presence. Yet we should take comfort in knowing her soul is now in God's heavenly home enjoying eternal peace and joy. Her soul is gloriously reunited with the other saints from Bethlehem who have preceded her heavenly transition. I will be in constant prayer for Robert Earl, Alma and the rest of her family. May God continue to abundantly bless all of us.

Miss Maude was a wonderful lady whom I enjoyed working with when I was growing up on the farm. I always found her to be sweet, warm, and kind. I know the family will miss her but the angels in heaven are delighted to have her with them, until we meet again, God bless and rest in peace
