To the family of Mr. Macoy, my deepest sympathy is with your family at this very difficult time. I did not know him personally however I did get to hear what a highly decorated American Hero he was from Alton. It is his devotion and dedication to the military and this country, that has paved a way so that my job and freedoms are what they are today. Alton, If you or your family needs anything at all during this time feel free to call me.

Sissy, So sorry to hear about Rodger. Tommy first met him at Westville Lodge. Then, he was a good customer when we had Mendenhall Flower shop. Miss talking to him these last few years but will never forget him. Will be thinking about you these next few days. May God be with you.
