Just saw this due to the sign found on AMI and am thinking of your family as I was a young widow with two young kids at the time and can’t imagine losing a child.

Just reading the story about Mac as I was made aware of it on the AMI page Losing a child has to be the most difficult thing a parent will face- my condolences to you on the loss of your precious Max - what a sweet boy he must have been! Thankful you are reunited with his plaque ❤️

Yesterday in the Rain I came to visit, I spoke a while, reset the stones from your visitors and left your headstone with a headbutt kiss. I felt totally empty, I turned back to you on route back to my car and stuck my tongue out and smiled...and then I felt you, like Never before, a total embrace from within. Thank you xxxx

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there; I did not die. Dad

Cherished photos of a wonderful boy ! From Carole , George & family

We've been thinking of you lots today and sending you our love. Xxx Molly, Lesley and Steve

Thinking of you Max, with much love xxxx

We miss you Max and not a single day goes by where you are not mentioned or thought of. I came to see you Christmas Eve and sat in the rain by your side, I wanted to come on Christmas morning too but the gates were closed. We had a photo of you at the table along with your plate you painted with loads of cucumber. Thinking of you and holding you ever so close in my heart. Auntie D xxx

See you often in my minds eye smiling your infectious smile and playing with your friends. Happy memories which I treasure always X

Hey Max, We have so many things we want to tell you, we are happy there is a place we can talk to you. We miss you and think about you a lot !!! Guy stopped eating cucumbers, he eats the salad leaving just the cucumbers for you. Every time we order pizza with peperoni (which is quite a lot), he always starts talking about you and this weird garlic sauce that comes with it. Every book he reads lately, the main hero is called Max... Guy and all your friends from Chalgrove miss you and talk about you. It was so sudden and unexpected that they feel they lost a friend they could grow and share their youth with. Hope you can feel how much love surrounds you. We’ll come visit again soon, Guy, Talya, Ronen and Omri Porat

Max we miss you so much words simply can't explain. Being here in Florida brings so many lovely memories of your tanned little bod running around playing in the pool. Every day we struggle on without you. Life is not easy without you by my side. Love Dad

Miss you

My darling Max, I miss you so much. I loved you more than life itself. A large part of me died with you. I am finding it hard to believe that you are not here with us. It does get harder. There's so many things I think of you,every day, that will be with me forever. You will always be my beautiful little grandson.

Thinking of you...love Tami, James, Josh and Arella xx

Max was, is and always will be a Bulldog, his infectious smile and sweet gentle nature is so missed by all of us.

I know with time things are supposed to get easier but there isn't a day that goes but when we don't think about you. No words can ever express how we all feel. We loved you Max like our own, our lives so intertwined, We will always remember your charm, your cuteness, your kindness, your love, your willingness to always helps others, your cuddles and of course your amazing smile. We have now laid you to rest but just know we couldn't have loved you more. We were honoured to have you in our lives. We will treasure the memories we all made together. Rest in peace - the Angels have you safe in their arms, you are forever in our hearts, big kisses and hugs always. Lou, David and Layla xxxxxxx

Ive been shooting footballs into your Goal Max in the rain... Definitely not going to be signed up for Arsenal ...I'm so rubbish! But every shot I take you're in my minds eye smiling and laughing. I have lost nearly 3 stone so far and I'll keep going until I feel and look healthier, thoughts of your love spur me on to do so. Miss you Nephew, we all do.

I miss seeing you first thing in the morning brushing your teeth in the bathroom, popping my head in and saying "you alright mate" you'd reply "hi dad" hair sticking up. I'd go off to work and spend my days working hard and grafting to be able to come home and put the key in the door knowing that the first thing I'd receive would be a running jump and cuddle. We'd sit down together, watch TV, mock fights, footy in the garden doing set ups and mini competitions. We'd laugh so much together at times. You would give me the biggest cuddle before bed when you just wouldn't let go. I miss you so much, why did you let go? Xxxxxxxxxxx Dad

Everyday was a "Bad Hair Day" for Max. But he always managed to carry it off with such style and that huge smile. Susanx

I VERY VERY V E R Y miss you..I liked it when you did "special" and "throw me on the couch" and "play monsters with me..and I love you Penny

"I Love you.... You were the best cousin I could ask for... and I miss you" Oliver

For years he was my reason of rushing every tuesday morning to be at the house before 8.30 am and see his beautiful smile...i miss him so much!!Lots of love xx

What a fabulous idea. Max will always be in our hearts of course but seeing his beautiful smile in these photos reminds me how unfair life is that such an angel was taken from us. Let's give thanks for his wonderful 10 years and how lucky he was to have such a loving family. Mark C

Max will always be a special person in people's lives, he was and will always be a kind and thoughtful boy who cared about everyone in his life equally.

I taught Max at religion school for two years, and I remember how powerful his huge smile was at lighting up the classroom; Each week, all of the boys would bicker about who was allowed to sit next to him! I'll never forget you, Max- you'll always be my favourite pupil.

A jolt through my very being When I learned you had left us The night silently stole you away From our love left behind Fresh memories of you Run and skip through my mind With the energy that is of a 10 year old child A beautiful handsome boy With a smile of incredible stretch Dancing lights in your eyes Innocence and gentleness A softened distant sound A hubbub of laughter and play Hastened footsteps With your cousins… A family magnet Drawing us together To eat, drink, and be merry Just be….together A light has dimmed this earthly world Yet lightened with a bright glow of Memory We will talk and smile Yearn but go on As we look to the stars And guess which one is you Feel the breeze and sun You send When you tell us to move forward And we shall Max…eventually…….we shall But please…Will you visit my dreams And meet me when I sleep You can offer me your forehead To kiss goodnight I will always love and Cherish being your Auntie Debbie

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Maxi. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
