Deloris and the entire family, I was deeply saddened to read of Mack's passing. I can only imagine how difficult the last couple of years have been. He was such a caring person and I know he thought the world of you and your family. Thank you for your tender loving care when his health began to fail. I am glad I got to see you guys that one last time at Panda Express. May God speak comfort to your heart. We so remember the former days of your beautiful guitar playing and singing "Before the Next Teardrop Falls." Now your music will be heard in Heaven. Rest in Peace, Mack.
