You may or may not remember me, but I used to be one of Maxwell's best friends in Kindergarden. I just found out about his passing and I can't even express my sorrow. My family and I will be praying for you and yours. I've thought about all the wonderful times I had with Max back when we were little. He was a wonderful friend and will be greatly missed.

Michelle, My heart goes out to you. I met you at the cemetery as I was visiting my husband on our anniversary. I can not imagine what you and your family are going through. Just because I can't even explain what I am going through. You have my number and whenever you want someone for company up there I am always willing to go see my husband. Thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Max's sudden passing. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers, and I send loving, healing energy your way.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
(Laura Jambrosic Turner, San Diego, CA)

Dear Dean, Michelle and Lola,
I can't begin to think of words to express our deepest thoughts of sympathy. Although Matt and Max chose different high schools that led them down different paths in life Max remained a "friend" in Matt's mind. Our family will always have fond memories of Max. Our prayer is that God will wrap your family in the comfort of HIS mighty arms and it will be in those arms that you will find your strength.
May God's peace cover you,
Debi, Don and Matthew Johnson
