Alice and Hayes Callicutt were special friends for 35 years to me. We met at First Baptist Church in Jackson where I met Alice in the Sanctuary Choir and Hayes served as Deacon.
We enjoyed many happy times over the years and shared our love of church, music ministry, decorating and landscaping. After Alice and Hayes retired and moved to Oxford in 1998, I was their houseguest on many occasions when I was working near Oxford. Alice was a wonderful cook and always prepared delicious meals.
Their friendship and hospitality enriched my life. Alice and Hayes were both devoted Christians which was evident in their everyday lives. After Hayes passed away, Alice met my parents and sister. They were also very fond of Alice and her outgoing personality.
Alice and Hayes will truly be missed, but remembered by my family as loving, Christian friends. May God richly bless Alice and Hayes throughout paradise and eternity is my prayer.
