Emily,.my most heartfelt sympathies are extended in the death of Cal. It is a total shock to see his death notice posted. I recall being In the same ward as he was and the dedication you gave as a wife. I was some what hurt when he did not remember me dressing him for his wedding day. But l understood the situation. He was a great guy but rude In his own way. But l understood his spirit. Cal you was a great guy to reckon with but you. made the grade and done well. Sleep InPeace my brother. Gone but never forgotten
