So sorry for your loss, what a beautiful family.

Betty. We are saddened to learn about Doug. He was the love of your life. He was our friend. We will always cherish the years of our relationship - whether singing in the Martels or just enjoying friendship. You will have so many memories to sustain you in the coming weeks and months. So will we.
In genuine love. Anah and Luther Weathers

Valerie, Mark and I were very sorry we did not hear about the loss of your Dad until we were too late to attend the visitation or funeral. Please know our hearts are with you and your family in your loss. May you find comfort in all the happy memories.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me."
- John 14:1
God our Father, be near to those who suffer in the time of weakness and pain;
Relieve them of their burden and heal them, if it be your will. Amen.

When sorrow comes into your life
and your journey seems unsure,
Submit your trust unto His love,
to cradle, embrace, endure.
Let faith in Him become your guide,
His strength become your own,
To bear your cross, renew your hope,
for you are not alone.

Our family will continue to lift you up in prayer during this time. What a day if rejoicing we will have when we join our fathers with our heavenly Father!
Until then I pray you will find comfort and peace that only Christ can provide.
Love to Ms. Betty, my hilarious college roommate Valerie, and the entire McDonald family,

SO sorry to hear this news. I knew Dr. Mac as a student at USC and at the VA. I also got to know him as a colleague and I enjoyed his music and song writing as well as his great sense of humor. My memories will be forever.

Rest in Peace, Dr. Mac. You took me in as a trainee when you really preferred a dual speech/audio major. You encouraged me to pursue my Ph.D. and allowed me to remain a full time VA employee and work around my schedule. You challenged me to be the best and most productive audiologist I could be and to contribute to our profession. Thank you for your support and your guidance since 1977!! You will always have a special place in my heart. Love and prayers for your beautiful family during this difficult time and the days ahead. See you on the other side, my friend.
