Sharon, Mrs. MacNair, David, Louis and Family,

Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather, we could not attend but I wanted you all to know that Mr. Mac Nair and the extended family will be in our prayers especially at this difficult time.

Our heartfelt deepest sysmpathy goes out to the whole family. We only new Mr. MacNair for a very short period of time, but he was a great man, father, soldier, husband and hard worker! I do believe Christmas time was his favorite HOLIDAY SEASON! We're sure he's somewhere organizing and setting up the Dickens Village at the old "Filene's" in the sky! (With a little help from his son-in-law, J.A.D.) Say hello to Joe from all of us- we still miss him!
God Bless, Merry Christmas and May He Rest in Peace.

Mr. MacNair,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
