Ruth & Ron-



I am so sorry about Uncle Clarence.



I remember that he often visited with David & I when we lived on 27th Street near him. He was such a sweetheart! He was so pleased to visit with us. He & my dad worked together at the railroad so he had stories about that!



I have comfort knowing that he is with his Lord and Savior - and with Aunt Dorothy and David, too!



Love, Kathy
