To the Mackey family, we are sorry for your loss. We know you were all very active in his life, always helping him whenever needed. You were very loved. You meant so much to him, and we know he is looking down from above, holding his wife's hand once again, and smiling about how wonderful you all are. God bless you all. And for Gay/Carol and family, my condolences.
