Monticello, AR Friday, November 11, 2022 To the entire Caldwell family I extend my deepest sympathies. Mr Lamar was truly one of the nicest man I’ve ever known. I had the pleasure of working with him for a time at Paint & Lighting and developed a huge respect for his kindness and his amazing knowledge of so many things. My quartet will be out of town this entire weekend singing so I will be unable to attend the service. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am comforted only in knowing we will see him again in heaven!Judy Kelley
