Sherri, I am so sorry for your loss, but I am praying for you all that God will comfort you and hold you in the palm of His hand. Although I know he will be deeply missed, I am celebrating your father’s new life with Christ with you all. He has been healed and made whole again and has been reunited with his loved ones that have passed before us. He is in a place where he is surrounded by a depth of love that is unimaginable, a place where there is no such thing as time. Most importantly he has been United with Christ. He lived a great life and touched the lives of so many people, including mine. He will be forever remembered for his generosity, his kind heart, his laughter and sense of humor. I love you all very much.
Colossians 1:2-3
Prayerfully there with ya’ll in spirit.
Mrs. Joyce and Sherri,
I’m sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family during this time.
Mrs. Joyce, Sherri and family, so sorry for your loss. Mr. Mack was a fine, gentle person who had an amazing personality. I’m keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
I express my condolences to the family. I worked with Mr. Mack with the Georgia Department of Transportation for a few years. Mr. Mack was a great co-worker as well as a true friend. He always had a smile with a positive message. Family, continue to keep the faith; it will definitely get you through this despair.
He was great man. May Cbrist peace be with you all.
Hi Joyce, just thinking of you during this time. Loved Mack and he was a friend to all at GDOT. I put his information on FACEBOOK this morning so about 1,000 people in Ashburn now know we have lost a great guy and a member of one of Ashburn’s pioneer families. I hope you enjoy your time with your daughter and her family. Thanks for being the great Christian that you are and giving the Christian love you gave to us here in Jesup. I will always think great thoughts of you and Mack when I pass by your house going to town. Love, David
Hi Everyone- I was trying to locate Mack recently, and I was very sad to find that Mack has recently passed. He was my first cousin and I had such great memories of visiting Uncle Ben and Aunt Ruby’s family as a child. Mack was such a great person and always had a smile on his face. I would really appreciate hearing from any family. My prayers go out to the family.
My prayers are with you. Mr. Mack was such a good person to work with, we all missed him when he retired. He will forever be remembered for his kindness and warm sprit. May God bless and comfort you.
I am so sorry for your loss sis, Nothing can prepare any of us for times like these. I know there is nothing that I can say to ease your pain or wipe away your tears. Know that I am continuously praying for you all, my other family. I am here if ever you all need me which I know you already know this. May God give you all strength and understanding during this time. May he encamp his angels around Ma Joyce and may he give you all PEACE. I love you guys with all my heart.. CJ
Near five years late, but sharing thoughts of times past in Dublin, GA. Blessings, Joyce, as you continue your adjustment to the loss of Mack. Thank you for your kindness and friendship of many years ago and your teaming with me in a special ministry project. I am now working with bereaved families and those anticipating loss.
