    MACKIE,
    Thank you for all the precious lives that we shared together through the decades with my littles and grand littles! You have been an amazing life-blessing to me! It has been an honor to serve you in your times of crisis, and I’m thankful to God for always, somehow setting me in position at the right time, for you. We sure miss you here in Georgia!
