Early in the morning is his time to rise,and anyone who knew him this came as no surprise. On Early Sunday morning as he occupied his seat. He'd sit gently quietly waiting for the Holy Spirit to speak. But early one morning on the final day of march. He began a new journey, he began a new start. He got up with all his strength and the will to move about. He loved all that God had given him, especially within his house. Life was perfect, It was majestic , there was nothing left undone, no worries, no fears, his race was finally won. He gave his angle a gift of a life time, He gave her his heart with no questions in her mind. And now with all that he has taught us to pass through generations, we've had all he had to give us to celebrate this day. His love and kindness, his wisdom and generosity, character and faith and all his philosophies. We carry this in our hearts, we carry it in our minds we honor you today dad, cause your a man of all times.

The only man I've never feared to Love.

To the McClelland Family. My prayers are with you, Remember Jesus said, I am going away to prepare a place for you and when your place is prepared I am coming back to get you. Even though we didn't want Mr. J. C. to leave us, his place was prepared for him and our Father sent for him to come home. Hold on to the memories and may the Lord comfort you in your time of sorrow. My prayers and Love to you all. Your Cousin Charlene Burns Bass (Fresno, Ca.)
