Guestbook

  1. Sorry to hear of your loss. So many of our childhood memories included the Mackey family. God Bless You All.

  2. For all the stories that were never to be told, Back to a time when I was a girl so long ago, I knew a man whose kindness touched the hearts of many, And he would often be the first to lend you his last penny, Yes his heart was pure gold forged from out of love, Right from the hands of the almighty who sits high above, There were times I must of drove him crazy and made his head whirl, With all my want tos and why nots when I was a girl, He loved and cared for all those that he knew, His family, friends and most of all you, Many happy memories I carry within my heart, Vowed never to forget and never to be apart, As a girl I would look up to this man with great awe, For you see he was my friend and he is my Grandpa

  3. May you rest in peace with Grandma i will always miss you but never stop loving you nor will i forget the wisdom you gave me and i thank you for sharing it with love you
