Bryant family, we pray that the Lord Jesus Christ keep you during your time of sorrow and grief. We know that even in the midst of pain, the Lord is able to bring some joy. Calvin certainly had many years of joy being with his wife, children and grandchildren. Thank God for the good memories Calvin left us with. Be encouraged, love, Michael & Patricia McDonald.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Daddy, it feels very different to be burying you tomorrow. As if this is all some sort of dream and we will all wake up and go to your house and see you on the couch smiling as you see us walk through the door. I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, but that void in my heart seems to hurt really bad!!!! So I will find it within myself to continue to strive to be the best that I can be and to MAKE IT, as you declared we would! Rest On daddy, rest on!
