Callie was always thinking of others. She never missed a birthday or holiday without a card letting you know we were in her thoughts. And she would call and say that she was thinking of us no matter what the occasion. Never an un-kind word that I can remember. A very loving sole that we will truly miss.

I am going to miss her phone calls, birthday and holiday cards. I don't know how she could remember birth dates and make you feel special and loved, but she could.

I will miss corresponding with Callie. We were cousins and we used to compare genealogy notes. She was always a good friend as well as a relative. I used to visit often when she lived at the home place. She was gracious and kind. I will miss her.

Callie was the sweetest lady I have known for long time. She was my great aunt Vera Horton Guynn's sister. I have enjoyed talking to her when she comes to my house and with her sister Vera and her brother. We all get together and have family dinner at her sister Vera house in Kernersville, NC. Me and mom will miss her and she will be in heaven with her family. I love you Callie. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
