    Deepest sympathy in the loss of Calvin. My memories go back many years having moved into this family’s friendship back in 1964.
    Many fond memories over the years that will not be forgotten in the
    years ahead. Cherish the wonderful memories and as you move
    forward may they sustain you and become treasures. “Grief is the
    price we pay for Love.”
