Most sincere condolences from Jeff and Noelle. I remember as a kid at the Macs' house for family functions playing with my cousins Rob, Jen, can't remember if Alli was born yet and watching Clash of the Titans. Another fond memory was to see Mr. /Mrs. Mac walk down the aisle together after so many years of marriage. The ceremony was very touching to see two people bonded and loving one another for so many decades and then to come together again to celebrate a renewal of life and souls dedicated to each other.
