Calvin was a "Gentleman". He operated "Music R Us" in the Henrico Mini Mall and he always greeted you with a smile and a helping hand. My prayers go out to Calvin's family. Calvin will be missed by many.

Your Loving Daughter DeVora Seymore,
I will greatly miss you and I will always love you. I heard the heavens rejoice and celebrate your coming home with the loud thunders and lightning the other day. Truly, there was a celebration in heaven. I can only imagine you and the Heavenly Host having a big party. Rest in Peace and Welcome Home Daddy!
2 Timothy 4:6-8
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
