March 22, 2009 We mourn the loss of Calvin Shearer March 18, 2009 We are Blessed to have known and enjoyed the company of the following members now departed. May our Sadness and grief at what we have lost be overcome by the joy that they have brought to our lives. Many succumbed to the ravages of AIDS, some were victims of violence, and some passed from other causes. They are Not Forgotten. May they Rest in Peace.
