Your mother was a very special woman and an inspiration in so many ways to those of us who grew up around her. I have many fond memories of being in the Calloway home as a teen. I remember Mrs. Calloway practicing her music, painting, reading her bible, and gardening. Occasionally she would scold Alfred but then she'd turn toward me and there would be a twinkle in the corner of her eye followed by laughter. She loved her family very much. I am so sorry...
