My deepest sympathy to you Diana and your whole family. I loved Clarence and he was such a joy to work with. I remember when he started working at Aegis Properties in 2005, I could not have asked for a better employee. I use to tell him if he ever retired while I was there I would too. However, I did end up retiring before him but came back in 2012 and had the joy to work with him again.

He was a wonderful, kind man and a great employee. We at Aegis were so saddened when he ended up leaving us last year, but we knew his health was an issue. He will be missed by all that loved him. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know him, work with him, and called him my friend.

Your family is in my prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Diana, Trenton, Trevor and the entire Borom Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I send this message of condolence. My Godfather Clarence was a loving family man and great friend who will be sorely missed. We take great comfort in knowing that he is in a better place, reunited with those he loved dearly. I especially thank and remember him for his friendship to my father, his longtime friend and confidant, and for being such a kind and joyful person always smiling!

May God's everlasting love and peace be with you, Diana, Trenton, Trevor and the entire Borom Family during this difficult time.

Love Always,
Natalie and the Slaughter Family
