Mac I will miss you. You have been a part of my life since 1966 when I met your son. I always enjoyed visiting you and Jeanette when we were in Midland, and seeing your big smiley face. I did not know your name was Raymond--I would have given you a hard time about that. I appreciate all you did for me; you made me aware of helping others. Rest in peace my friend. Emmett

I was so sorry to learn of the passing of my dear, longtime friend and so sorry that I could not be there with all the family today to celebrate his life. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers and that the memories we share will keep us together forever. I'm sure Bubba was glad to welcome his old golfing buddy home and I know they are together playing on a beautiful course in Heaven! My love to you all. Lavisa

Jeanette, Harriett, and Darrell: We are so sorry for your loss. Mac was good hearted and never saw anything bad in anyone. During our many miles of walks we solved a lot of world problems, government financial problems, fired a few Cowboy coaches, and changed a lot of Cowboy quarterbacks. I will always remember those times with him. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Jeanette, Harriett and Darrell, All of us Fosters were so sad to hear of your loss. As you know, Mom and Dad are not able to express themselves as they would like, and I hope this note might assure you, that our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We all wish we could be there with you. Dad, Lonnie, says "I've just lost my best friend." So, so many memories, laughs, stories, and good times, that have been shared. God bless you all. With love, Charles, Lonnie & Merry
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

R.E. was a fine man and will be very much missed by all who knew him. My prayers are with you all and I know that R.E. is looking down on you all with his driver in his hand fixing to tee off.

Jeanette, Hariett and Darrell: R.E. was the epitome of the self-made man, but he had some qualities many other successful men lose on their way: humility, integrity and generosity. I will always remember fondly my time with R.E. on the board of directors at Colonial Bank, going to battle for him in the courtroom and having fun at a Dallas Cowboys game. I'll miss him and my heart is with you. Joe
