To the family of Brother Calvin Mayo, please know that Calvin's passing has caught my undivided attention and cause me to pause and pay due respect to the life he lived and the dedicated manner in which he served God. While I knew him for only about 5 years, I believed Calvin to have been a wise, moral and stand up Christian. Annually, among other events, we would find ourselves singing ole songs of Zion over a very sumptuous meal. Indeed, I am going to miss Brother Mayo's presence down here on earth but pray Heaven's gain of him. In sympathy, Joe Brinkley and family

We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the Mayo family. Calvin and I worked together many years at Abbott in the LVS Solutions area. He was a easy going and kind man. He was a big sports fan especially high school sports. A great man who I can say was a friend. Your humbling spirit will be missed. On behalf of all the Solutions and LVS current and former employees may you rest in peace. Wil and Lisa Brown.

To the Mayo family: I was saddened and shocked to learn of Mr. Calvin's transition. I remember him as a very nice Christian man. Every time I say him, he had a smile on his face. I will miss seeing him at my job. He always told us that we were "a ray of sunshine "! May God strengthen you all during this difficult time. MR. CALVIN I WILL MISS YOU!!!
