August 28, 2021 at 7:59 amYou raised beautiful women, who have become family to me. That’s a testament to you being an amazing dad, whose love was always wrapped around your daughters as they navigate life. They always endearingly speak of you, Big Mac. I’m praying for the family, including Bailey who wrote your name on her chalkboard wall in her room and said she’ll never erase it. Forever in our hearts. You’ll be missed.
