A great man has left this earth and is now in heaven looking down upon his wife and children and his 3 month old grandson.
Mack will be dearly missed by so many. He was such a well known man. Very caring and always a hard worker and helping others.
I pray for this beautiful family Lord. Wrap your loving arms around them and comfort them and help them heal. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
