I don't remember when I first met Max. Ever since Chloe and Ellie started Hampstead School when we were 11; Max has always been around... as a part of Rosy, as a part of O, Louis, Ize and Dash, as a part of life as i have known it. Over the years his presence has been a certainty, whether it be in parties all over London, Brighton & mostly Queens Park. I clearly remember years ago him making us all climb over the railings of Queens Park in the middle of the night to get to a house party on the other side, despite my plea's to walk round! It was Max who eventually helped me over (in my 3 inch heals!). More recently Max was around less, but when he was, you knew it was an important occasion. The last time i saw him was on Owen and Ellie's birthday in Aston's in January. I remember vivdly thinking how nice it was to have him around and (as everyone else has said) how genuinely interested he was in how you were and what you'd been doing. His smile, his openness. I have been looking forward to the time when everyone will be coming back from their uni's round the country, from their adventures round the world. Its hard to know that Max won't be coming back. Everything seems a bit unbalanced... a liitle less certain. I'm sending my love to his family, to everyone who was so close to Max and to everyone who misses him.
Love Lucy (Jane) x x x
