Dear Peter, Ellen, Lisa and your entire family,

I was heartbroken to hear of your tragic loss. Your rememberances of Max at the funeral yesterday made even those who didn't know him personally feel that they wished they had - such a remarkable young man.
May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and may his memory always be for a blessing.

The Kibrit family extends our most sincere condolences to Ellen, Peter, Lisa and the extended family. Max was a frequent visitor at our home during his years growing up in Buffalo Grove. We remember him munching on carrots while visiting Rafe and our family. We are in awe as we have read numerous posts about his adventures and humanitarian accomplishments in his 39 years of life. May his memory forever be a blessing to all. Gabe and Jill Kibrit.
