It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a member of our faculty in the College of Medical Science, Dr. Carrie Calloway. Her obituary describes her perfectly. "Carrie was the definition of strength and genuity and will be greatly and forever missed by all who knew her. She was kind, compassionate, generous, and caring; a provider, a leader, and fiercely independent. Carrie remained stoic until the end--the epitome of grace." Prayers go out to all her friends and family.
