Jim,

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your Mother. I know you loved her very much. It is very difficult to loose a parent. I just found out about her passing tonight, and missed the funeral services. My heart and love goes out to you. May God bless you during this time.

So sorry to hear about Callie. I never met her but I have talked to her on the phone many, many times over the last 5 years. She was a great help to me on my genealogy search on the Ellis family. She will be greatly missed, she was such a nice lady. I know she was in a lot of pain in the last couple of years and now she is free of her pain. May God be with her family at this time.

I am so sorry to hear about Callie's passing. I spoke with her a couple of years ago. I told her who I was and she remebered me from my child hood. It is sad to know that all of our older family members are gone now. She was the last.
My prayers are with you

I'm saddened to hear of Callie's passing. My grandmother lived across the street from her and they were great friends. She was always such a sweet woman, and she will be missed.
