Mackie will be greatly missed by so many. She touched and blessed so many people through out her lifetime. My condolences go out to her entire family. She always had a way of putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart. I remember all the times growing up, going down to the office and listening to her stories. Mackie was a great story teller. Her stories, her smile, her compassion, and her laugh will be missed and always remembered. My Mother was truly blessed to have a friend in Mackie; a friendship that cannot be matched or replaced. We love you and miss you Mackie !
