Martha, I think back when I first moved to Braselton and was told you have to meet Martha Martin as she is a pillar in the community, your reach goes WAY further than Jackson County, what you and Max shared will be with you always, you were blessed for the many years you had. Will it be easy, NO but think of all the years you were there for others it is now time to let them support you. Kim
Now what Cheryl and Wayne are going through since I have lost a Daddy. It hurts more than you can imagine. I am sorry that Max had To go on before you but be assured, you will be reunited when it is
Time. I am so honored to have known him and he did always have a smile and treated everyone with dignity. I am sorry I am out of town and will not be able to be there for you but my thoughts and prayers are. I’ll never forget his burial date as that is also my birthday. I don’t have any of my contacts since my last phone quit working and they were unable to retrieve them. If you still have my cell number you can call or text me in the weeks to come. Love ya bunches,!

I just saw this in the paper, and I am so sorry for your loss. I spent a year with the family when I was young and such a wonderful family. Found the Lord while I was with you, and I am grateful for that. I haven’t seen you all in years, but you have crossed my mind. My prayers are with you.
