Lucy, haven’t seen you and Cousin Mack in years but I wanted to let you know that I’m very happy you were Mack’s wife. I’m very sorry for the loss of your husband and he was always one of my favorite people growing up and later in life also. I remember when I was young and he came in on leave and came to see my dad I would just run to him. His beautiful memory is etched in my mind.. Loved him dearly and I have to say I loved his cooking. God Bless you and your family. Love always.

Lucy, I am so sorry to hear of Mack’s passing. He was a wonderful person and an inspiration to both Jayne and me. We pray that God bless and keep you during this time.
Looked up your address to show the boys our old place on google earth and stumbled upon this sad news. Aris and I have such fond memories of you both, early parenthood in your pool and roaming the yard, mini chocolates, and your kindness. We are thinking of you and your family. ♥️
