Bobbie Sue and family,
I was so sorry to read about Mackie's passing. I haven't seen him on the TV commercials in a while and was wondering if it was because of his health. Bob always enjoyed going to lunch with you and Mackie when he came to town. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
