As we gather in the spirit of celebration, to honor the life of a patriarch of the Maxwell family; our hearts are heavy, but we must accept God’s will and honor him for the seventy-five beautiful years, He allowed our loved one to remain here on earth. The Lord can and will heal the poor in spirit and the brokenhearted. On August 19, 1945 in Hampton County South Carolina, the late Sam and the late Lou Tyson Maxwell were blessed to receive a precious baby boy name Arthur Lee Maxwell.
