This one is a hard one...

I had the pleasure of caring for Mrs. Mack for a little over a year now. I saw her often, and from the very beginning I could only describe her as a powerhouse of a woman. She was always on the go, always moving, which is something I admired a lot about her. On one of these visits, she met my daughter very briefly. Yet this started a back and forth "How´s Hayley?", "How´s Mrs. Mack?" between the two. What I´ll remember most is the smile on both their faces, when I would tell each one that they asked about one another. You see, Mrs. Mack is someone you don´t easily forget. I know we won´t.

To the Mack Family, my deepest most heartfelt condolences.

We have many fond memories of Suzanne and Walter developed over years of friendship and many rounds of golf at Lyford Cay, Glenview Club and Shoreacres. Our sympathies and condolences go out especially to their two daughters. We lost Mark´s mother last year - and she also got to know the Mack´s well from the days they visited Lyford Cay frequently.

While I only recently met Suzanne, I can see what a full, wonderful life she has led and the people she has touched. I feel blessed to have met her and enjoyed her life stories. Keeping your family in my prayers.
