    Mac was in kindergarten at Conway Christian with my son, Max. He touched Max’s heart, as well as mine. I’m thrilled to think he is healed, running and rejoicing with Jesus. Although we mourn for him here on earth.

    I never got to meet you Mac but you have even touch our hearts through pictures and all we have been told. You were and are still so much loved! Even though you where 8 years old, you still taught us all, that, even though life can be hard, keep fighting and keep your faith in God!!! May you rest easy in Heaven.

    I kept up with Mac through Jeff and Kelly. He was a brave little boy that suffered more in his short life here on earth than most of us.
    I know God looked down and said that’s enough I have a much better home free of pain for you. I’m not even going to pretend to know what the Wright and Cunningham families are feeling. God be with all of you

    The greater the love, the greater the sorrow, and Mac was SO loved!! Continued prayers for all of you.
