Sheldon and I want to send the Calhoun Family our sympathy for the loss of Bedford. We were neighbors on Neshoba Drive for over 10 years and also attended Germantown Baptist Church. There was never a better neighbor and Christian man. I know the family will miss him, but also know for sure that they will see him again as well as Sheldon and I on the other side of Glory. Cannot imagine what Bedford is seeing now but I know he is in the presence of God. What a glorious thought. To the family, let God hold you in His loving arms and get you through this time of sorrow. Just remember, God is with you and will not leave you.Love in Christ, Sheldon and Pat Garnett Jeremiah 29:11

I have been blessed to have some amazing uncles, and my Uncle Bedford was one of them. It was always evident to me that God and his family came first with him, and even as a little girl, that had a great impression on me. He was patient and kind, and I never remember hearing him raise his voice. He was a happy man. He made people around him feel special and important. I’ll never forget my son Matt, at age 6, telling me that he really liked Uncle Bedford because he talked to him. He not only talked to him, but he listened and cared and was interested in things that a six year old said, when many adults would not. That was one of the ways he exemplified some of what Jesus would do. Even though I didn’t get to spend time with him for several years, his life always held a special place in my heart. Yes, as Mary says, heaven has gained an angel in my Uncle Bedford. I look forward to singing with him one day. Aunt Ruth, Mary and Martha, you all are truly blessed to have had the honor to call him husband and Daddy. He was a gem. Love to all of you. Julie Jacques Nunley

Bedford and Ruth were our neighbors for years. She was the “quiet one” , and Bedford was the “talker”! What great friends. I remember Bedford as an active participant in dozens of “Men’s Mission Trips” at GBC. He was a “ready-to-go” witness for our Lord–and shared Christ with hundreds of people winning many to Christ. It was my pleasure to bake biscuits for him and others for years at the GBC Men’s Prayer Breakfasts. He loved good, hot biscuits with home made gravy! And he was always sure to tell me how good they were. Bedford was a witness for Christ, a friend to everyone he met, and a true friend. God bless Bedford Calhoun. Bob Pennington
