Kent and I have never and will never forget Mace. Kent had a good friendship with him & for Kent he has alot of acquaintances but few friendship like he had with Mace. We will always remember the fun times we had with him and his wonderful wife Brenda.

I was a customer of Mace's automotive shop and whenever I was there, it was good to see him and his faithful pet Sissy no matter how bad the car news was. Our community has lost a good, honest businessman. God bless and keep Mace, his family and friends in the months and years ahead. He was a very fine man.

Brenda and family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Mace. He had such a kind heart and showed that in his dealings with all that he came in contact with. I first met him through my husband many years ago. He ran a tip top business and took excellent care of his customers. I think God will favor him for being such a good and kind person.
