Maggie, Cindy, and Sharon,
I just found out about Calvin's passing.
My prayers and thoughts are with you. He was such a friendly, funny person. I loved to see him when he would visit us at work. He was so happy and upbeat all the time and never met a stranger.
May God comfort you at this time and keep you in His peace.
