Donna, Cynthia and Shelley, I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband/dad was a wonderful caring and loving man. He was always concerned about others and was a wonderful Christian man. He left his mark on my heart. I will keep you both and your mom in my prayers. Melody Myers (works with Chris Callager).
