Sympathy to all of Max's family on reading of his passing. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. Max and Margaret were such a caring couple who were always willing to help everyone.

'May God hold you in the palm of His hands'. An beautiful irish blessing Max asked me to sing during a church service at Hills when he was preaching. Max and Margaret have touched so many lives and will always be part of my first church family memories as a new believer! I pray for you all (Max's family) that you feel God holding you up in this time as you mourn that Max is no longer with you, and celebrate a life well lived and that he is with our Saviour and back with his Margaret. May you find comfort and joy in the many memories! Love and prayers are with you all! Carlijn (from HCC Mapua)
