Dearest Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Clarence. My heart and prayers are with you.
Some of my very best memories are of times spent with all of you in your home. There were fun times in the mountains of Cloudcroft, in Almagordo, and of course, the great cookouts enjoyed at the White Sands. Clarence was a part of it all. Always sharing and making sure we all had a good time.
May God Bless and Keep You during this sad time.
Love Ya,
Peggy Bruton
