Max was and is a dear brother of mine.
He helped me while I was going to school at
the CIFW Christian Acadamy. Bible studied
together and he was as true a friend as
any one could be. I know he is rejoicing
at the throne and will be looking for all of us. Miss you max. I know our Lord is close to all the family as our prayers and thoughts are with them.
