A condolance from A AHAC Comrade
Uncle Cal, I was so sad to hear of your passing but happy to know that we had stayed so in touch all these years. Better yet, it was consoling to know that we spent time together just that same week that you passed (it was the Wednesday 🙂 remember, I played hooky from my office) and had shared news and pictures and laughed about lots of things. I was heading to NC the next day and promised more pictures upon my return. That was our plan. Sitting in your office was always a fun way to remember all the good things in our lives. 🙂 We never looked back! I know when you left to join Mary that you were doing exactly what you wanted to be doing. We have now parted ways but know that you were loved. Give a hug to Auntie Mary from us! and you, of all people, were always a part of us. Your love and support was special. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love, Lyn, Rob, Missy and the girls.
