We are praying for the Everson family. Words cannot express how we feel during your loss. The scriptures tell us that God will give us the peace that surpasses man's (our) understanding and that is our pray for you and your family. Calvin was a true solider for the kingdom. His smile and gentle loving spirit will truly be missed. His life was a reflection of God's love. Calvin will forever live in the memories we cherish.

Mr. Calvin was my daughter's godfather, my big brother, and my friend. He and Mrs. Charlene have gone beyond the call of being godparents, neighbors, family, and friends. There are no words to express what our hearts feel right now. However, I know the level of Power that is in the name of Jesus. Mrs. Charlene, we are here for you in sunshine and in the storms of life. We love you, and you know it! ❤
We are missing Mr. Calvin already!

Mr. Calvin was my daughter's godfather, my big brother, and my friend. If my dad couldn't do it, he sent us to Mr. Calvin. Raven used to play with the window and get the window off track. Her response would be, " Yall can't whoop me, because my godfather gon' fix it". He did it when she was a little girl, a teen, and since she has been an adult. He and Mrs. Charlene have gone beyond the duties of godparents.
I don't know what we are going to do without Mr. Calvin, but I know the Power of Jesus will never fail. Mrs. Charlene, we love you and loved Mr. Calvin more than words can say. Mr. Calvin, we are missing you already.
