Dear Maxson Family, I was so sorry to hear from my mom of Neva's passing this past week. Neva and Clair were always so nice to me since I was a child and real special people. Their love and testimony for the Lord is shining and a wonderful legacy for their family and all those who knew them. Am so glad we'll all have a wonderful reunion in Heaven one day. Love and prayers, Diane (Wahlstedt) John, and Julia Weatherford

The last thing Neva said to me was that she loved me. It was a privilege and a joy to be near her. I will miss her smiling face Sunday mornings but take great comfort in knowing that we will be reunited again soon. May God bring the Maxon family peace, love, and blessings.

We always thought highly of Neva and Clair both. Neva always brought a smile to us over the years. She faithfully played the piano at Youth Rallies at New Berlin and usually traveled to them at other churches. She was a giving soul and was a joy to be around. Every life she touched was the better for her presence and every heart will sorrow for a season. Praise God for the promises of eternal life with Christ. Our condolences go out to the entire family, especially Larry & Cheryl, LD & Kelly, Tracey & Bill and Christa & Dan. We will pray for God's grace for you all and stand with you rejoicing that the sufferings of this present world are no longer hers to bear.
