My heart is breaking for the loss of my dear friend's husband Mac, who was her soulmate, wonderful father to Lesley and loving grandfather to Avery, and had welcomed Scebo to his family. Mac, always saw the good in everyone, could make you smile, and was a pleasure to be around. You will be missed, your beautiful memories wii comfort your family and friends.
