The Ancecdotal Life Part. 45

We would like to mark the passing of a beautiful, fighting spirit, named Amelia Callam. She was seventeen and fought through every invasion that cancer can throw at a person with outrageous determination and while maintaining an unbelievable cheerful demeanor. Her family and our family have been friends and neighbors at the LAKE for a century it seems.... and with good reason. The only comfort for myself at these times is what my mom told me when I was little. I think she was quoting a Maine tombstone she had seen or read about. " Here lies Jonathon Peas. It's only his pod. Peas shelled out and went home to God." I always felt that said it all.
