To the Brittingham Family. I attend the Worship Center Church of God in Goose Creek, SC. I also teach the Senior Adults in Sunday School. Many times Bro. Brittingham quietly slipped into our class and seemed to enjoy himself. He would then stay for Worship Service. On several occasions he brought the Evening Message. We will terribly miss him, but we know he ia home now. Vivian Ripley

He was more than a brother in law to me. I dont remember Janet without Clifford. I have some great memories of Him. He was fun to be around but also had the serious side when it came to God. I loved him like a brother. He is happy now he is with Janet and his family and most important with Jesus

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
