"In regards to obituary for Maxine Thompson. She had 4 great grandsons, not 2 great great grandsons. She had only one great grandchild. She also had 2 great grand daughters of which one was deceased. She was a wonderful person and had a heart of gold. She appreciated people for who they were and was not judgemental. She has been greatly missed by her two great grandsons in Pennsylvania, Jonathan and Nathaniel Wyrick."
In loving memory of
Maxine I. Thompson
