So sorry for your loss.
Callie was one of the best friends in my life. You always knew where you stood with her and she wasn’t afraid to speak the truth in love. She will be missed but now she can see and hear and her body is healed. How can we not want that for her!
Callie hired me for my Career at the Post Office.We stayed friends all that time. I stayed closer to her with her Daughter Susan. I have a lot of memories and I will miss her. I’m glad she is in Heaven and pain free. My prayers are with all the Family. Callie I Love You!!
I worked with Callie at Asheville Gastroenterology and she was a dear friend to me. She taught me many life lessons that I still use today. She kept in touch with me all these years. I’m thankful that she’s not struggling with health issues now and that she’s with her heavenly Father and Paul as well as her many friends and family that have gone before her. I’m praying for all of you during this time.
