May the God of all comfort give you and your family strength during this time of loss. As you remember your loved one, may our Father give you peace in every way. Please accept my sincere condolences. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace constantly in every way. May the Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Your daddy was a great inspiration to me and I shall always remember how proud he was of every single one of you.
I couldn't keep up with all of his wonderful and warm stories of that which he loved so much..

I cherish all the memories and good times that we had with Uncle Clarence and the family. Heaven gained a true Christian man who lived a godly life. He will be missed but never forgotten. Peace and comfort to everyone of my family. Jesus has gained another angel. I'm sure he's dancing around the throne and praising Jesus as well as reuniting with all that went on before him. Amen.
