I will always have fond memories of Luther Avenue in Hales Corners, Wisconsin. What a wonderful street to grow up on. Even though I am now in my 60's, it will forever be Mrs. Beck in my memories. She was a great neighbor and her family were my friends and still are. Carol is a wonderful daughter and Jim was my first date. She and my Mother were friends.
I wish the my very best to Carol.

Carol and Jim, I admired how steadfastly Maxine kept such a pleasant and positive attitude through her long-suffering health conditions. You both very faithfully loved her and John as they aged. They enjoyed so many active years, traveling, visiting relatives and friends, and supporting Badger sports. A wonderful marriage! It was a pleasure to reminisce with them about the good old days in Mauston, Hales Corners, and Juneau/Horicon. Maxine and John visited my disabled uncle, Don Harris, countless times and I know Don tremendously enjoyed their visits. Blessings on you and all the grandchildren in this sad time.
