I was saddened to hear of the passing of Maceo. I met Maceo 11 years ago. We were co-workers and quickly became close friends. He called me "Auntie". We shared a lot of fond memories, filled with laughter and tears. I miss him, but I am glad he is finally at peace. My deepest condolences to his Mother who has lost a wonderful son and family members who have lost a loved one. I have lost a friend. But God has gained a soldier. RIP Maceo. We will meet again. Julia Hill & Family. Charlotte,NC
