My heartfelt condolences to you, Marguerite, and the rest of the McCoy family. I will always remember how funny Mac was and the times we would "drop by" to say hello. Vince always held you and Mac in such high regards and I felt the same. Time will make the pain more bearable. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
