Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My mother Casstella was Uncle Willie Mack oldest sister. When I was younger, during the summer my mother and father would travel from Detroit with me and my siblings to visit our extended family in Alabama and Mississippi. They were always glad to see us and made sure we had a good time. Uncle Willie Mack always had a big smile when he saw us, and he struck me as being a little shy, and quiet, and he had a good sense of humor, he always made my mother laugh. Sending condolences to his children and the rest of the family. Rest in peace Uncle. Your Niece Debra Ann Larkins, of Detroit, MI

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
