My Uncle Clinton was truly a great man of God. I loved him so much and got the priviledge of getting to visit with him in 2007. For several years he would send me and my family oranges & lemons from his own fruit trees. I would send him black walnuts that he loved so much. he will be greatly missed.

How we loved Mr. Michael. Both of our children were bused by him. They are now 38 & 34. His sweet, peaceful face was such reassurance as we put our kindergarteners on the bus for the first time. He was so thoughtful and caring when it rained and would drop the kids off at the driveway rather than the regular stop. He showed Jesus to all and we will see him in heaven.
