    I loved Uncle Bob!! I'm just sorry I didn't get to spend more time with him over the years. I did get to speak with him a few times recently. He will be missed! I'm sorry I can't attend the services, but everyone else in the family will be in my thoughts and prayers!!

    Mac was my instructor for multiple classes at WVNCC, but most importantly he grew to be a very special friend to me and all his students. Mac greeted me every morning with a smile, he had a huge heart that showed in everything he did. I am so blessed to have shared some very special times with him and will hold those memories very dear to my heart. Thank you Mac for all the laughs, you always told the best stories.... Thank you for everything you taught me, I will continue to put the knowledge you instilled in me to work everyday... Most importantly thank you for believing in me and alwasy being such a great friend. You are missed already. Everytime I here a Frank Sinatra song I will always hear you singing and see your signature dance. Love always, Jessica
