Mary and family,
I,m sorry to hear of Calvin's passing. I will always remember the days when we all lived in Marseilles, Illinois. All the Sunday gatherings on Young Street at my mom and dad's house gave me the opportunity to watch my cousins grow up from toddlers to adults. It was a special time back then.
I didn't realize it until this morning but Calvin passed away four years later and on the same date that my brother Donnie, (his Nephew) passed away on.
Scott, I wish I could be there to hear your sermon. I know you will do a wonderful job. "God Bless"
Dad you will live on in the many memories that we have. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Mom and the rest of the family.
With Love
