Dear Charlotte,
So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts & prayers. When we think of Mac, we always remember how funny he was. He always came up with something clever to say. When we met him he said you were just his "friend", but then he quickly informed us that you would soon be his "girlfriend"! We could tell from the beginning that he was crazy about you. He will be greatly missed.
Mac and I only had two years together before we lived separate lives. I don't remember much about that time, but he told me about those early years. It was because of him that I joined the Air Force, because of his love for it and the stories he would tell me. I was impressed in the way he expressed his love for Carol and their daughters. I was even happier for him when he married Charlotte as they made a wonderful couple and did a lot of neat things together. He will be greatly missed by all. He was a true warrior and will be among his peers forever.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
May the Lord give you peace and comfort at this time.
Preston and Reba Sanders
Mac was hard on the outside (probably from military and police training) but for those who really knew him, when it came to Charlotte he was Gallant--brave, spirited, noble-minded, and chivalrous. She was his Queen and they had great fun together. Other family members have shared that his love for Carol was the same. Nuisance, the cat, was great fun for him also as he won her trust, he trained her to retrieve and she has not stopped looking for him. He was one-of-a-kind and he will be missed.
Dear Charlotte,
Sorry to hear about Mac. We will miss him dearly. He was a very special
Bother to me. Someone that you could
always talk to that understand your ways. When I first meet Mac I thought he looked so much like dad, and he had some of dads ways. like the way he held
his fork,or if you ask him something
always be up front with him. I loved him with all my heart, and I will always miss him.
Love,
Harold&Mary Kay
He was nasty to my son, Charlottes only Grandson, and she let him be nasty because she was desperate to have another "man" in her life.
