Always a special place in my heart for you, Mac. Father figure/friend to the end. Thank you for being you. You will be missed by many. I love you.
Mac, the first time I met you I was 13 years old it was my birthday and you had a card in your hand which contained 50$. Since that day I have considered you a grandfather. You did so much for my mother and loved us unconditionally, im sorry I didn’t attend your services but since my mom’s funeral I haven’t been able to walk into a funeral home, except my father’s and that was just to tell him what a piece of work he was and how I hadn’t forgave him. I also wasn’t aware that you were in the hospital so I was unable to come see you but please know you will always be in my heart and mind. You hold a special place in my heart always and forever. I LOVE YOU PAPI FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!!
