Merice mills - Friend
My father worked with Max at VA for more than 20 years and always spoke very highly of him. He was a good man. My sincere condolences.
Jenevieve Barker - Friend
I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the family. May you find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28, 29 - “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” When Jesus was on earth, he raised up people from the dead, providing evidence that this hope is a reality. May this assured blessing encourage and strengthen you.
