With all the mischief he wouyld get into, I use to always smile when I would see him, his heart was big and no matter what went on he stayed who he was.. I use to love it when he sang as he did that very well... He use to remind me of Raffeky from the movie the LION King, I will miss you dearly. But I know you are in a better place and will always be smiling down on us.

When I think of you, I always see your goofy smile and hear you say "Hey Jeerrie" Protective in your "own" way of your Big Sis. I am grateful for having known you and I thank you for sharing your time on this earth with our family. I will truly miss you.

I use to like when my nephew, Clif would sing for me. The first song I heard him sing when he was about 9 years old was, It's My Perogative. He was suppose to be standing in a corner. I laughed when Linda said, Clifton! The look on his face and that little smile he gave me as he dashed to the corner is that same smile in this photo. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace dear one. Love, Aunt Barbara

My nephew was a wonderful young man with his own "perogative". I will miss his smile and hugs as he always greeted me with. May he rest in peace with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I remember the day, as if it were just yesterday..that Clifton came to live with Linda, Anthony,and kids. Dr Kauder is right...Clifton's face looks just as he did when he was a child. Clifton will always be in my heart...I will never forget "cookies and milk".
Our prayers for Linda, Anthony, "all the kids" and Ms Branch.

I was shocked to see Clifton's face looking out at me from the newspaper this morning. Except for being older, he looked the same as he did from the first day I met him as an infant. Please get in touch with me either on Facebook, on my website at www.caringbridge.org/visit/brucekauder, or by emailing me at [email protected].
