CALLAWAY-ALLEE FUNERAL HOME
I met Mr. Grady probably 14 years ago. He was one of my most favorite folks. I could listen to him give the history of the Latexo Community and his family for hours. He was a very special and smart man. He loved Carol, and missed her everyday. I loved going to the cemeteries with him, he could tell me just about every one there, usually a funny tale. RIP
