• Peter and Family:  Please accept our sincerest condolences.  We can't express how much we respected and cherished Maxine as a good friend and for her steadfast involvement with the G.O.A.,  her insights and advice as a senior member of the GOA Charity Committee. We're praying for your family to take comfort that Maxine is at peace and watching over your family.

Sending you all so many hugs and love during this time. We didn’t know Maxine well but the thing I’ll never forget is when she came to visit Amritha and Dan she always made a point to bring us some of her home cooking. In those moments you could tell that she easily became the mom to whoever was in her presence. It was lovely and I’ll always remember that.

After our Dad and mum passed away,  the mantle of being our Matriarch was passed on to Maxine, the role she took very seriously. She along with Peter,  have been our mentor,  friend and generous to a fault, not only to us siblings but also to all her nieces and nephews. 

Growing up in the 50s Maxine, Justin and I were like triplets (since we' had a very small age difference). In those days, our mother used to dress us impeccably, with matching dresses, hats, shoes and socks!  We did look like triplets alright!!

Music was in our blood, our father being a famous musician of his time. So growing up in the 60s we used sing in 3-voice harmony, belting out famous hit songs like Red Sails in the Sunset , Summer Time and many more, at every function we attended. We were called the "INE SISTERS", and we loved it.

In later years we continued to sing, along with the rest of our siblings, including Goan Konkani Mandos in our repertoire with our mother singing the solo parts!

We had a time of our lives!

God has been so good to us.

Maxine we miss you very much and the void can never be filled.

Missed forever, loved forever.

Our deepest sympathies thanks for the memories.My mum  loved singing with you Tamdra Rosa.May your soul rest in peace.Joe cool and Antonetta

• Dear Peter Paul and family, I am saddened to learn of the passing away of dear Maxine, I always will remember her lovely warm smile, whenever she met or saw you, in St. Paul's. 

I'm sure she's resting in peace with the Good Lord.

My deepest Sympathies to you and the family.    Angel Dean.

We remember Maxine with great fondness. Maxine’s appreciation of beauty and fun in the moment and her kindness and laughter brought such joy to our family visits. And the music she encouraged around the table was new to us and enjoyed. Jan was treated to that when she and Maxine took walks around Dan and Amritha’s neighborhood. It didn’t take long till Maxine would ask “Do you know this hymn?” And when Jan answered “Yes” the singing would begin. Benediction hymns, Mass hymns were sung as we walked along getting a bit breathless as we went up the many hills and causing us to laugh. We are grateful for special times spent with Maxine and Peter and all of the family. Our sympathy and love to Peter, John and Jasmeen, Amritha and Dan, Jacob, Iris, Jessie, and all the family we have yet to meet.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Aunt Maxime and celebrating many family functions and being enlighted by her singing vivre le viva song.  Also, her peaceful demeanor and kindness was infectious.   My condolences Uncle Peter, John, Anna and the rest of the family, Aunt Maxime has left a wonderful  legacy you should all be proud of.   Auntie Maxime will be singing it up in heaven vivre le viva for all to enjoy.
