Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

God saw you getting tired so He placed His arms around you and whispered "come to me. A wonderful man that made everyone feel as if we were one of his children. Mr. Clifford always had open arms and a smile on his face. A very special man went home to join his wife. God has brought together your mother and father once again.
