Dear Trey & Ben,

Your dad spoke of you boys often and his eyes always seemed to sparkle when he would mention the two of you.

I realize no one can stop the pain the two of you must feel now. Remember to be a friend to one another.

The best way to honor you dad is to keep his love and memory in your hearts.

God bless you both and may angels be with you.

Trey and Ben, You both are so in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Your dad loved you both so very much. He was so proud of you. He told me about the trip that you guys took I think it was to a big science fair. He enjoyed it so much and he was so proud. Your dad may be gone from this earth but he will always be in your heart no matter how old you get or where you may go in life his spirit will always be there with you.

Debra, Trey, and Ben,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss as they have been during Mack's illness. You cared for him during a most difficult time leading to his transition. Now it is time to take care of yourself, to rest, to grieve, and to remember the happy times with your husband and dad.

Love,
Auntie Ann

Dear family, We are thinking of each of you and
praying God will send you peace in this difficult
time. With heartfelt sympathy,
I knew the Helms family for the years they lived in Fordyce and loved each of them very much. Sarah Hyatt will remember me I'm sure.
Grace & Peace be with you.

Dear Pat,
I was saddened to see Mac's obituary in today's paper. Please know that I am praying for you and your family at this time of grief. If there is anything that I can do, please ask Lyda to let me know. I remember that you two are especially close and I'm confident that she is there for you. My children being so close in age to yours, I've let them know and they are also keeping you and your family in their thoughts and prayers.
