Condolences
The family of David Lee Macken has received the following condolences.
Scott, I am so sorry to just read about your Dad and Mom passing away, both within a few months of each other. As you know they rented they the lower level apartment in my Dad and Mom’s house for many years when you were very young. Your family was always very special to us and you spent lots of quality time with our family. I read about your family and am happy for you that you have all of them to love and support you in your life. I have many great memories of your folks and you spending time with our family. It is always comforting to me to know that my Dad and Mom are together in heaven watching over Tom and I and our families. Now your folks are together again and will be watching over you and your family too.
Scott and family, Dave (and Lois), were good friends with my brother, Dave, and we knew both via that friendship. Our sincere and deepest condolences to all with your loss. Dave and Lois will be united once again. They had MANY good times together and enjoyed all their softball adventures.
Condolences,
Dick Lueck
Scott & Family- We are thinking of you during this difficult time and pray that you find comfort that Dave & Lois are together again.
