Eley Family....Macarthur's family,

I knew Mac for more than 40 years and was stunned and saddened to hear of his passing. He was a "fun loving" gentleman that I knew through my ex husband (George Miller) and the rest of his crew at the time; Peanut Kyles, and Nate. God bless the family. With my deepest sympathy....

To the family of MacArthur, you truly have my sympathy, especially his mother, because I just buried my youngest son in August and it is a heartbreaking time. I have found peace in talking to the Lord, and although you will miss Mac, trust God with this one, because it is beyond our understanding why he left at this time. We the Causeys send our love and if you need anything, please let me know. 317-590-5519

Dear DeAndrea,

I was so sad to hear about Mac. What a shock and what a loss for you and all of the family.

I didn't know Mac well, but I remember his cute and kind smile, and I always admired how much you openly loved him. I don't think I ever remember you saying his name without a big grin.

God will grant you strength through the lonely days ahead.

Hang in there, girl...you will be in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Love,

Marita Ransbottom
