Mary and Family,
It's been quite a few years since we've been in touch, but I want to endorse what my sister Carol Crowley said. I knew Runt was an above average guy, it was confirmed when I heard the speakers at his Memorial service. I just wanted to let you know that I have very pleasant memories from my childhood of the fun times our families had when we got together. You and Runt have raised a fine bunch of kids. Good job!
The Best to you,
Dave Smith

Dear Mary and family,
Thinking of all of you today, the day of Mac's Memorial Service. Wish I could be there but will see you in March when I return north.
We have shared a huge part of our lives with all the wonderful neighbors in View Ridge and came away from there with lifetime friendships. You and Mac were always a special part of those friendships and we will miss Mac very much. One of my favorite memories were the New Years Eve parties at Jan & Stormy's home playing Shanghia Rummy. Such fun.
Love, Blessing & Prayers to all,
Aileen

Dear Mary and family, My prayers and love go with you at the passing of Mac. Jack went home to be with Jesus in August. Our loss is easier to accept knowing they are with Jesus Christ and no more suffering.
With much love and prayers, Mary Ellis

Mary and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Mac's passing. You and Mac have been part of my family since the 60's. I have such fond memories of bowling, golfing, joking around with Mac, you and my folks. The both of you were always good friends of and to my folks. Our prayers are with you and the family, and I'm sure Mac, Stormy and Jan are already at it playing cards, bowling and golfing in Heaven. It has been an honor and a privilege to have Mac as a good family friend and he will be sorely missed.

So sorry to hear of you Dad's passing. It was a year ago I lost my Mom as well. Fill your heart with all the laughter from the past and you will always have great memories to sustain you. Always remember he is still with you whenever you need him.

Mary...I am so saddened to hear of Runt's passing. I think of the two of you often...and especially every time I drive down the hill on 52nd by the golf course. You and Runt were fixtures in my childhood. My parents...Bart and Betty Smith, always cherished your friendships. It is hard to believe that they are all gone, now. My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. I bet they are all having a reunion in heaven along with Vera and Shorty. I miss you and I miss Bobbi Macaroni, too.

His heart was bigger then his smile.
His wonderful caring and loving ways
always made you feel welcome. How lucky you all were to have such a loving and caring man for a husband and father. We will all miss him.

We've considered Mac a part of our family since Ken & Laura married in 1994. We loved him and will certainly miss Mac's jokes and his smiles. We pray that the wonderful memories you have of Mac will give you peace during this time of mourning.
