You and yours are in my thoughts ...I know how you cherished your love...

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Mack's passing. Even though it has been a long long time since I last saw or spoke to him, I will always remember two really special things about him. Our 8th grade class trip to Washington DC and the way he ALWAYS looked over and out for Pat Anderson.
I hope he is enjoying a high place in heaven. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Kathy and I were shocked when we read about Dennis. He was a sweetheart, a wonderful guy and could make anyone laugh. We were just talking about some of the fun times we had with him and especially with Kevin. God be with his family, especially his Mom. We still have a little bell on our "Christmas tree that she got us in New Mexico.
