I knew Michael and the rest of the McDonalds from way back growing up. Quacco Road had few houses back then but when someone said the name McDonald and it had to do with the seafood industry we knew that was the place. So I am sending condolences from my family and we know the sorrow you feel at this time. Our Deepest sympathy,Robbie,Judy,Glenda (Grier)

Dear Gail and Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and family member. I didn't know Michael personally, but I do know that he must have been a wonderful man to had been married to such a sweetheart like you are, Gail!
Not long ago, I was looking through my "treasures" that friends have given me throughout the years, and I found the precious little figurine and card that you left for me at my front door about a year ago. You will never know how much I appreciated the gift, but the love, warmth and friendship behind it is appreciated way beyond that...

Gail, please know that I am here should you need a shoulder to cry on, or a listening ear. I will be thinking of you and your family and praying for strength to help you endure the loss of your loved one.

To the family of Georgie,
Although Georgie and I were related (Britt/Carter family) we had so much fun together with our friends.
Georgie will be missed, he had a way of making people laugh, and he was always the "leader of the pack of our group."
Mom and I send our prayers and best wishes to his family.

Gail, & the McDonald Family, From the first time I met Mac, I felt like I had known him all my life. Mac, knew no strangers. He treated everyone as if they had known him for a lifetime. He had the warmest smile & a heart of gold..My dear friend, you will be so missed by many. I will never forget the late calls to KC, how we acted like three fools on the phone. I can hear your voice & see your smile and to you my brother, Michael, I will surley miss. To the family, my prayers are with all of you, I hope that your pain will get easier has time passes on. One day we shall all be together again, laughing & cutting up like fools.He could make us all laugh. Watch over us Mac, for when I get down I will remember your big smile & gentleness. I will greatly miss you. Love, Jane B. Clarke
