Dear Elsie, Judy, Theresa, and Debbie, I was glad I was home so that I could stop by to visit with you a few hours after Mac left you. My heart hurts for your loss! Even though our lives go separate ways, I will always remember the good times we all have had together. I will always remember Mac's smile and kindness! I love you!

Debbie & Family,
We are very sorry about your Dad. We enjoyed him so much at the soccer and basketball games. He was full of life and that rubbed off on everyone when they were around him. He was a true joy to be around. God bless you and your family.
