Dear Marie Elaine, Judy, Joe, and all of the family,



I am so sorry to hear about Mac. Aunt Duane called me to tell me. I think Mac was the first person to hold me when mother and dad brought me home in November 1951. I remember him as a loving, gragarious cousin who always treated me with kindness. I remember the fishing trips we would go on together with Judy and Joe. I have so many other good memories of him through the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.



Love, Robert V.(Bobby) Ard
