Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Max, you were a wonderful friend to me and I will miss you and our chats while out walking the dogs. After my father died, I needed someone to fill some of the spots that he filled in me and you and Donetta were there for me. I’ll never forget the kindnesses that the two of you gave me after I moved into the lots. You didn’t know it, but I needed you guys alot for emotional support during those first months, as I moved here shortly after my father passed away. Now, you can rest in peace, spend time with your son and walk with Thor and all your other past pets. You can enjoy the fishing, and all the beautiful scenery to your hearts delight. You don’t need to worry about all those who disparaged you here on earth as God will know how to take care of them. I love you and I’ll always miss you.
Higgins Family My condolences. I knew Max in the 80’s when he and family lived in Hays. Infact, we worked together. Max was a hard worker and kind man. Sorry to hear of your loss.
