Carlette, Ryan, & Bryan: Please accept my sincere condolences upon the death of Ronney. He was my first cousin. His dad & my dad, Marvin, were brothers. After our grandmother died, we lost regular contact. Ronney, David Calloway, & I were grandsons close in age. David still lives in Winston- Salem and I now live in Charlotte. I called Ronney before he moved from Tybee Island when he was recovering from shingles. He had just lost his sister, Janet. I enjoyed talking with him at that time. Our cousin, Allen Calloway who lives in Morehead kept me informed about Janet and other cousins. My Sympathy and Blessings to all of you during this very difficult time. Rev. Jim Calloway
