Affectionately known in the family as "Poor Mac" because he was the youngest & only boy growing up with 4 sisters & his Mother. Poor Mac would have to take his turn around the dance floor with each of his wonderful sisters, beautiful wife & adoring Mother. A very special uncle who was there for all of his family, nieces & nephews & friends. We are an extended group now but were always taught by our parent's example how exceptionally blessed we were to be a part of such a close supportive family & we will continue the legacy. A beautiful smile, huge heart, great fun & a source of strength for all of us. I miss you Mac but take comfort with the thought you'll be greeted by many open arms - together again.
Give them all a hug for me !
Betty's daughter - Sheelagh
