Maude will surely be missed by not only her family but everyone that came in contact with her. She had no fikter and if you didn't want to know the truth it was not to ask her for it.To my cousins you have a bushel of memories to reflect on. We thank God for the time she was with us. She was a blessing. I was glad the OJ trail was over because her and my mother was glued to it and I was the receipent of all the details that her and my mother talked about each day. My mother would call me me and give me a blow by blow of what her and maude thought of the trail. The phone call lasted for it seemed like hours. Family don't let the circle be broken. Stay close to each other and cherish the time with each other and keep her memories in your heart.
