Charlie and Family:

I worked for your landscape company the summers of 1970 and 1971, and look back on those days as a valued learning experience and as a good summer job. We did not see Mrs. Clements much but when we did she was always pleasant to us "workers". Chuck Everett told me about Mrs. Clements and that he went to the wake. I just wanted to tell you all how sorry I was to hear about her.
With prayers and sympathy,
Steve Sinclair

Billy, I am terribly sorry about your loss of your Mom. I really wish I were in front of you to give you a big hug. I'm sure this time is overwhelming and there are so many people to deal with. Please let's get together in the near future. My mom is going through the same thing your Mom did and what my Stepdad did two years ago. Keep all of your funny and wonderful memories close and know that we are praying for you, Craig, and your whole family in this tough time. God Bless you and your Angel. ~Mike
