Dear Macura Family

I was blessed the day I met the Macura family, some of my fondest memories are of time spent at your parents house. There was always good food plenty of people and lots of laughs to be shared. Your Father was a great man who only wanted to laugh and make others have a great time and he was very successful. When I think of Mr. Macura I always smile... Thanks for all the great memories...

Love,
