Hello Carol, Oct.
12, 2010
Callie Lou Royal appears on page 51 of the June 1947 Anchor. I knew Callie Lou and her mother and remember visiting them at their home at 338 Blair Avenue. Her younger sister, Jean was in NNHS Class of 1950. I had tried to find Callie for years because I have included a biography of her father, Frederick E. Royal, in PARC Heritage, a history of amateur radio on the Virginia Peninsula. As you frequently experience, women become difficult to find once their maiden name vanishes. Nostalgic best, Fred ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fred W. Field Fullerton, CA fwfield@juno.com Thank you so much, Fred.
My sympathies on the loss of your schoolmate.

Callie Lou was a
wonderful person and we will always remember her kind,
caring ways. Love and sympathy to Herbert, Tom, Ed and Mary.

~ Ginger Fullbright, Sylva, North Carolina October 11, 2010 Callie Lou was my second Mom. October 11, 2010
When I was about 15 I went to
spend the summer with Aunt Ollie and Callie Lou took me home for a week.
Wow, I thought I was in heaven. We watched the Johnny Carson Show and
stayed up until two in the morning; we had more fun. She had Eddie at
that time; he was only two and so cute. Callie Lou always had fun and
made everyone at home. She could be a kid and have as much fun with the
kids.
When she had Mary I was grown and had keep several things like my doll bed and cradle from my dolls. I sent them home with her; she said she would take good care of them, and several years later I went to visit them, and there was my doll bed and cradle. They were in the best condition as ever. Callie Lou, we will miss you very much, but we will laugh and have fun again in heaven. October 11, 2010
Lou was one of my favorite
people and her family was A-ONE. I'll never forget their support in
difficult times. My deepest sympathy to the family. She will be missed!

Campbell, Hampton, Virginia October 11, 2010 Mary & Eddie, Eddie H, Tommy & Herbert I love all of you and have wonderful memories of when we were all at Grandma Springer's. When Callie Lou was there, she always made things so special and fun. My Love and Prayers are with each and everyone of you. Velda, Bobby & Ethan Davis October 11, 2010
Hi Mary, Eddie
and Tommy,
It's been a long time but I remember your house was such a home to everyone and I enjoyed being there. Your mom was a wonderful and kind mother. Her laughter always made me burst out too. She's probably laughing in Heaven now. What a great lady she was! Thinking of you and praying for your family ~

Mom, I love you
so much. I am going to miss you more than you could ever
imagine. You were my best friend in the whole world. I am so
grateful that you are at peace and no longer hurting. I will
be there with you one day and we will be able to laugh again
with each other and share with one another all of the times
that we have missed since you have been gone. I am so sorry
I didn't get to see you before you left, but tell you all
about Hawaii when I see you again. I love you, Mom. Mary

October 12, 2010 I worked with Ed for several years and only met his mom once very briefly, but I almost feel like I knew her through her son with his humor and the many time he said "Well, come on". I would always tell Ed that his mama raised him right and he would give a big smile; he loved his mama. My heart goes out to Ed, Ryan, Tom and the entire family, for the loss of one so loved and missed. I pray that God will give you comfort and peace. October 13, 2010
Mary, we were so sorry to hear about
your mother and we have you all in our thoughts
and prayers.

Just As I Am
Words by Charlotte Elliott, 1835
Music by William B. Bradbury, 1849
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
