My thoughts and prayers are with you today Hazel.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. We have many fond memories of Uncle Mac and he will not be forgotten! We remember his great sense of humor, the way he always had a story to tell at the ready, and a playful spirit.
Thinking of you at this time, especially Aunt Hazel. Regretfully, we are on vacation in the Caribbean and will not be home in time to attend the service. Sent with our love and prayers,
Anne Marie and Doug
Diane , Michele and my thoughts are with you . From all your comments about him he was obviously a great man and well loved by his daughter .
We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Mrs. McDowell and family for the loss of Mr. McDowell. We knew Mr. McDowell as the kind and friendly man who sat in front of us in church, and already both his presence and Mrs. McDowell’s are greatly missed on Sundays.
I think that George may have been named as my Godfather in November, 1946. My Dad William McRobbie was in the aid force at the same time-Dad was a mechanic. Welost Dad in 2006 but he was a wonderful story teller. Condolences to all of the family and I hope I haven’t made a mistake as I often wondered if I would ever know about George as Dad said they lost touch as Dad took his discharge and George stayed in. In any case my heartfelt sympathies to all and Thank God for our Air Force. Sincerely Sandie Knudsen nee: McRobbie
Our thoughts are with you Aunt Hazel. It is difficult to lose both a husband and a sister in the same year. I have many memories of both of you. Our thoughts are also with you Steve and Diane at this difficult time.
My deepest condolences. I’m so glad I got to see Mac again at Eileen’s memorial. It was so nice to see you again too Hazel.
