Our sincere sympathies to Dave and the entire Kalkman family and friends! It was a privilege growing up with them in Pantown! Rest in Peace Mrs. Kalkman!

Pantown was a wonderful, magical neighborhood. Everyone knew your name and respected each other. Mrs. Kalkman was our mother across the street from us. A pillar of love! One of the hardest parts of this pandemic is not being able to come and hug our growing up friends. God bless all of you and rest in peace, Mrs. Kalkman! <3

What a beautiful tribute of a life truly lived. It brought tears to my eyes — to see the wonderful life of a faith-filled woman whose life was full because she loved… God, her family, her life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute.

What a beautiful lady – I have fond memories of her and her husband, ‘Pantown pillars’. God and family came first for her – and she has left many warm and beautiful memories. Our sympathies.

One of the anchors of our Pantown neighborhood. Thinking of you. ❤️

Your mom is one of the last of that great generation that embodiment the best of American values. She was always such a lady in the finest sense of the word. Our condolences
