Thank you for allowing us to take care of Calvin. He will be missed dearly , remembered fondly and loved continously. Prayers and warm thoughts are with you all.
Calvin was a wonderful man that we were privileged to have as a “member” of our family. We loved him dearly.
Sharon I think Calvin and Daddy are reunited and having a grand time with Dewanna and Mom. Brings me joy knowing knowing they are together with family, friends and most of all our Lord.
So sorry for your loss Sharon. We are praying for you and your family. Jasper & Dianne Hankins.
I am so sorry for the family. I know you will really miss him and all of us that knew him will also. He was a good man and a hard worker. I am praying for all of you.
I have known Calvin’s siblings better than I knew him, but I want to express my sympathy to the rest of his family. Please forgive my delay in acknowledging this loss in your family.
