Mackey Frankland Smith

As I miss Mackey's charm, I will cherish and remember his kindness and consideration. His devotion to Renee was always evident. Mackey was a good man with a clear set of values and held the integrity to express himself well. His friendship was a gift. A gift that I will cherish the remainder of my life.

Dear Renee and family

It was our high privilege to know Mackey and we will remember him fondly. We are grateful for the things we could share - outrageous Hawaiian shirts, bluegrass tunes, a ribald story from time to time, and our personal favorite: Paradigm Cab Franc. We toasted Mackey last weekend with our oldest and finest Paradigm CF. "The standard by which other California wannabes are measured." You know our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Love, C&B

I remember Mackey's humor and appreciation for those who worked hard in the office yet took time to have fun. I wish Renee the best going forward in life. Sincerely,

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Renee for the sad loss of her beloved husband. Mackey was a gift to all who knew him.

Thank you Mackey for helping my Dad rebuild our VW bugs and introducing us to Bluegrass Music, you were always a huge part of our lives. My thoughts and sympathy are with Renee for her great loss.

Old friend, I'm so sorry. See you on the other side.

Creative, funny, multi-talented and highly intelligent, Mackey's passing is a shocking loss to those of us who worked with him and enjoyed his tenacious spirit. My heart goes out to Renee whom Mackey said repeatedly he loved more than anything and anyone else in the entire world. Perhaps he and Vince will now be reunited. Quoting Rossiter Worthington Raymond (1840-1918) "Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight"....

Mac,Im sorry you had to leave so soon.
