To the communities of Warren and Hermitage:



I want to publicly express my gratitude to my home, Bradley County. I cannot thank God enough for choosing this place as my home. 

I have always been proud to be a part of Bradley County, but it was not until I lost my husband, Jorre McMahan—or Coach Mac, as he is better known—that I realized how important it is to live in a small town. You all have been a backbone to me during a time when I needed support. Thank you for sending food, for stopping by my house, for contacting me, for sending me sympathy cards, for attending Jorre’s funeral, and for showing me love. I also want to specifically thank each and every one of you who donated to the GoFundMe account that was set-up in honor of Jorre. I know that Jorre would be overwhelmed with gratitude knowing that you all have not only taken care of me emotionally, but you have provided for me financially during this difficult time. Your donations and prayers have carried me through, and I pray that God blesses you all for your compassion. 

God has taught me that even during the darkest tragedies, He sends His loving light to shine in our lives. You all have been that light. You all have reminded me that even through the pain, God is still with me. I see Jesus in each person who has extended love toward our families. More than anything, I want you all to know that God always has a purpose in every situation, and that through His love, we have the ability to see His goodness no matter how deep the pain penetrates our lives. You are that goodness. I do not have the words to adequately thank you all, but regardless, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.



I love you all,


Alexis Pacheco McMahan
