Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. To all of my cousins who have lost their mother, my wonderful Aunt Mack, I keep you in my thoughts as we all navigate through this difficult, yet peaceful, time of transition. I will never forget the many times spent with her, and Uncle John, at reunions when visiting Philippi. Those memories will remain vivid and constant as we move forward without her. We, unfortunately, will not be able to celebrate her life with you this Saturday but would like to share our sorrow on this day, and we look forward to a time (hopefully soon) that we can all get together to share our stories.

    Tomorrow, as you lay her to rest, we will have a moment of silence and reflection here in New Jersey.

    We love and miss you all. I'm so sorry for your, and all of our, loss.
