My sympathies to all the Calkins family.  May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Remembering the Guarding angles I gave her in the hospital. 
Coping With Cancer
Sometimes guests drop into your life, and they haven't been invited.
And when their name is Cancer, you are less than delighted.
For Cancer has a habit of getting in the way of the things you want to do.
With endless test, treatments, tears, and yes the fears, too
Walk with Courage with this brave little angle at your side
And God's grace will see you through and with faith you will abide.

This guardian angle will always be with you and in my heart. I dearly miss you and will keep your memories in my hearts.   Kathy Calkins

Mom ... The rock and foundation. Loved her family through the good and the bad. Loved her flowers her grand kids. The love of her life always brought a smile to her lips (Loran). The time she spent with each child in her own way.  The vacations she went on since she retired after years of back breaking work. The years dad was sick and in the V.A. hospital. The years she help family together. She loved Hawaii and Alaska, Florida. She loved just being at home with her grand kids & great grand kids, but most of all she loved Dad. She was proud of all of her children what we accomplished & what we didn't. Was proud of who she became, a wife, mother, grand mother, hard working person & mom to extended family. Most who know her loved going to church. Believed in God and Being saved. Loved all her brothers, sisters & mom, dad. Proceeded in death by daughter,brother, dad, mother,cousins, aunt, uncles. She is at peace now. No more worries & no more pain. In Heaven now watching down at the house she left behind. Those of us that will be meeting her at a later time. We miss you Mom.  Larry Calkins

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

By Lamaretta Simmons

          Memories Live Forever
It's hard to say good-bye to someone that you love, although you know they're safe with Jesus up above. It dosen't make a differance if they're in there later years or not. It only means more memories to carry through the tears. Don't let your selves forget, we each have numbered days, For reasons that we do not know, God wanted it that way.Tears wash away the pain, but it can't remove the love.
The memories live forever safe in God's hands above. So today we give thanks for the lives we chance to share. No matter if they're short or long. God always will be tyhere.

Love always,
Jason A. Wall
Remington W. Wall 
Layton A. Wall

We are so very sorry for your loss, Our thoughts and prayers during this time of dispair. She will be remembered in our hearts. Danny, Grace Virginia Sutherland (Byers, CO)
