  19. My tribute:
    Don’t think that Max and Kristen have gone away
    their journey’s just begun,
    life holds so many facets
    this earth is only one.
    Just think of them as resting
    from the sorrows and the tears
    in a place of warmth and comfort
    where there are no days and years.
    Think how they must be wishing
    that we could know today
    how nothing but our sadness
    can really pass away.
    And think of Max and Kristen as living
    in the hearts of those they touched…
    for nothing loved is ever lost
    and they were loved so much.
    R.I.P Together forever.
    Thank you for your kindness and friendship.
    My heart felt condolences to all the Marriott family and friends.

  37. My heartfelt condolences to all the family on your loss.
    Unbeknownst to Max, as a little girl I would go into the paddock behind your Chandler Rd home and feed the Clydesdales some carrot and apple. Alfred? Albert? They would come thundering up and stop directly in front of me. I barely made the top of their legs in height. On one occasion Max saw me there and was so panicked as I was in the paddock with them thundering towards me. He allowed me to continue giving them treats if I promised to stay behind the wire fence. Max was such a lovely man. So very tall! He hasn’t changed over the years. I remember he became a father whilst living there. It must have been Andrew.
    I have memories of seeing the horses pulling the market garden cart in the Moomba procession also. Special memories.
    Vale Max & Kristin
