Macie was a dear sister-in-law for the decade I was in the family. She was always gracious and loving toward me. I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. Her life was a living testimony to how much she loved the Lord. What a wonderful reunion she is having with all her family who have gone on before. God bless you all.
Dear Velma and Family,
I’m so sorry I am unable to attend Aunt Macie’s services – she was a wonderful and inspiring woman of God. I have always described her as being somewhat ethereal; almost angelic. She had a way of making you feel very special when you talked to her. I will miss her very much, but I know she is in Glory with the Lord Jesus!
My thoughts and prayers are with you at your time of sorrow. Macie was so special to me. When I had my first job just out of high school, I rode to work with her for the first year or so until I could afford a down payment on a car. She was always so kind and helpful to me and such an inspiration during my life. I know the Lord is rejoicing having such an Angel as Macie with him. It is never easy to lose them, but knowing she is at peace now and with her Lord hopefully will ease the pain.
Parham family, we are so sorry for your loss.
