I am shocked and saddend that Mr. Callaham passed away but overjoyed that he's not suffering anymore. No matter what he was going through, he kept a positive outlook on things. I worked with him a couple of times and he would often come back to visit and give a big ol' bear hug to everyone. When I would see him in public, he seemed more concerned with how I was doing. When I'd ask how he was he'd say "I'm blessed" Find strength in knowing that you WILL see him again one day!
Sincerely,
Christy Smith-Brown

"DARK CLOUDS"
The dark clouds only last a while
So patient be, and gently smile
Change can come so swiftly now,
No need for sad and furrowed brow.
Life may be not what you planned,
Frustrations hard to understand,
But Providence reigns up above
So smile, and offer up your love
To One who knows when crosses come,
The best prayer is: "Thy Will be done."
