Mack was a very genuine lady that always kept it real. People like she and "gram" brought balance to our lives growing up. Although words may not heal the wound of her passing, nor fill the void her earthly departure has left, I encourage the family to take comfort in knowing that God promises to wipe every tear from our eyes and that weeping may endure for a little while but joy cometh in the morning. So just hold on til the morning! Mack will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
