Debi, I'll never forget Calvin's big smile, and always his offer of comfort, and how much he loved you! Remember how we sat around the table at Fellowship Feast and we'd all be expected to say something, and Calvin just sat sweetly and let all the ladies do the talking! But his presence amongst us spoke volumes, didn't it!
Now, he's where he can continue to watch over you, and you can talk to him all you want, and cup your hand to your ear for his response, for he will, in his own time.
We love you and support you however you need.
