There is a sweet peace that comes with knowing that life and love is inseparable. Memories remain long after everything is over! Mac had a jubilant personality that made all of us love him. Enjoy the sweet fragrance he left behind, knowing that he has run the race with patience and made preparation for the finish line. Mac crossed the finish line and won everlasting life. Let's work diligently to do the same. Find comfort in the many pleasant memories and the knowledge that God will not put any more on you than you can bear.
With heartfelt sympathy,

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
