Sorry to say it twice, but it is true, my daddy is the BEST!
Our Dad
If we could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told We'd \Vrite about our dad for he had a heart of gold. Our dad, he was no hero known around this world but he was everything to us, For we were his boy and girls. We'd write about the lessons. He taught us right from wrong.
He instilled in us the values that one day we'd be strong. He taught us to face our fears, take each day as it comes,
for there are things we can't change, He would say what's done is done. He would say hold your head up high, carry yourself with pride. Thanks to him, we are somebody, we will never run and hide. If we could write a story, it would be the greatest ever told. We'd write about our dad, for he had a heart of gold.

The Life of Joe Lee Mack

Mr. Joe Lee Mack, known mostly to family and friends as Joe L., was born April 1, 1946 to Ira Reynolds and Gertrude

Perdue, who preceded him in death. Joe was born in Alabama and later moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he

graduated from Turner High School. Joe began his career when he enlisted in the United States Army. He retired

from Marta after 30 plus years of service.

.

Joe was a devoted husband and father. He and his wife Valerie were together for forty years. They both always said they would marry each other all over again. He had a special love for all of his children and made each one feel like they were his favorite. He was a proud man with a sharp tongue and quick wit. He enjoyed the simple things in life like spending time with family, working on cars, sports, and playing cards and dominoes. Joe was a kind soul who was always willing to help someone in need.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Valerie Mack; six children, Elizabeth Gresham (Cyril), Bridgette Jackson (Willie), Charlotte Bailey (Rickey), Demario Mack (Lisa), Terea Mack and Sidney Nealey; six grandchildren, Cyreshia and Cyril Gresham, Rickey and Kira Bailey, Kaydence and Kyndall Mack; one great grandchild Yuri Morris; four sisters, Ollie Dunn, Vera Longino, Carolyn Hayes (John), and Janice Butts (Reverend Kenneth); three brothers, Robert Perdue (Patricia), Jeffrey Reynolds, and James Reynolds (Melondy) and a host of nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by siblings Frances Mack, Charlie Mae Mack, Kate Lee (James Lee), Barbara Mack, and Anthony Reynolds.

I'd Mariy You Again
With titiy te-ars that glistened, my eyes were fixed on you, And thinking of the life vve'd share we softly said, "!, do." Our hearts tvere knit together from the time that we first met, And memories were gathered that we never will forget
While daily living life with you, you saw the real me, and still you chose acceptance, a lifelong mystery.
With many happy times gone by and others when we cried, Some days we'd share so endlessly, while other days we'd hide. With all the ups and dovvns we've had in learning to be friends ,
I know th;;zt in this heart ofmine,
I'd marry you again.
