Messages Of Condolence

Dearest Aunty Yvette & all the family.

Uncle John was a daily message of love and support. He always thought of everyone else and made sure to send his love. We will miss him dearly, especially our dad Mike.

We as a family, know what it is to love another; indeed a stranger who became family, with such purity and with devotion….because of the MacDonald family….and that is a beautiful legacy x

Dearest family,

We are truly saddened to hear of Uncle Johns passing. A person who showed only love to our father “Mike” in a different world 50 years ago. We will forever hold him in the highest regards, and by extension the McDonald family.

His loss to my father’s world will be truly felt. Emma will look after him now.

My condolences to the entire family.
