Momma Max was a lot of things to a lot of people. To me she was a grandmother (in-law.) I could never thank her enough for the influence she and Marty had on Jason. I loved listening to her stories and seeing her light up when she shared them. I will forever hold her in my heart. Praying for peace and comfort for all who grieve.
