Tamara,
I’m so sorry for you and your family. I think the story I remember you telling about Calvin most was when the man called who was trying to formulate a proper diet for someone but didn’t spend the money on any analysis. Calvin sounded like such a saint.
LetItBe
I am sooooo very sorry! (HUGS!)
So very sorry, words cannot express. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I will keep you and yours close to my heart
In addition to any number of times Tamara carried questions to Calvin and brought back responses to COTH, I remember some of the stories about the fun that Calvin et al occasionally had with semi’s …
I noticed today that pictures of one of those stories are up at the Production Acres site - under “the joy of farming” link
http://www.productionacres.com/joys_of_farming.htm
In addition to the horror of one’s man’s anger stealing a father and husband from a family, there must be such grief and uncertainty felt by many of those who knew Calvin as boss, distributor, supplier and neighbor. It’s so sad in so many, many ways.
Tamara, I don’t know what to say. I don’t know you in real life, but I am so angry and upset about this…I can’t even imagine the anguish you are enduring now.
I wish you the greatest strength and comfort in the days, weeks, and months ahead. God bless you and your family, Tamara.
My most sincere condolences to you and your family on your tremendous loss. You are in my prayers.
Truly you have my condolences, this is incredibly sad.
I am sure that you, your family, and all the people involved with Production Acres are very sad right now.
May you remember Calvin at his best, always.
Tamara - my most sincere condolences. I’m not really a person of religion, but this from the 23rd Psalm has often comforted me in times of loss:
“Yea , though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff comfort me.”
I hope your family and friends are of great comfort to you and your children in this most difficult time. From what I know of you on CoTH, you are a strong lady and you will get through this, but it does take time.
Be strong for your children and always treasure that you had such a wonderful partner in your life.
I’m so terribly sorry for your very tragic loss.
I remember the story about the guy asking Calvin about breeding some weird combination of horses - I don’t remember the exact details, but apparently the guy was trying to breed a zebra - evidently he thought all that was required was the right color genetics.
His joy and pride in his life’s work shines through in those news clips posted and in the numerous encounters recounted here over the years. What a terrible loss to the farming community as well as the family.
My deepest condolences Tamara…
I am so so sorry for your loss.
Such an incredibly senseless tragedy - my prayers to you and your family.
Very sorry to hear this happened; Tamara, please accept my sincere condolences. The people here on COTH will all support you in the days ahead.
Take care,
Tamara,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for the senseless loss of your husband. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers…
Tamara,
You and your family are in my thoughts.
Tamara - My most sincere condolences to you and your family. Even as dark as things are now, somehow time at least eases the pain.
Tamara. My deepest condolences on the loss of your husband and soul mate.
I’m not sure how I missed this yesterday. Tamara, my heart is breaking. My deepest sympathies to your family.
thank you again.it is quite calming to actually come here at night.
when you stand in the truth other things run off you like rain off a petal.
we have no need of spokesmen as we are big shouldered enough to carry what we are given to bear.
WE do however simply from the sheer size of this operation already have not less than three lawyers for various things to see about ;> (bandits all make no doubt) and yet another will, added next week to purse more “civil” matters.We are more than provided for in that regard.
Our private anger flows out of us and leaves in tears,I tell the children every day
if others had done the same over their lives perhaps they would not now appear “Deform’d, unfinish’d, sent before my time Into this breathing world scarce half made up”
and we would not be where we are
thanks again
Tamara and Family
You and your family are in my continued prayers. Strength and love to you all.
So sorry to hear this. He seemed like a solid man.
