May the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, comfort and give the peace that passes understanding.
Strengthening and encouraging you as He walks with you through your grief. I think of the verse when Jesus was at the tomb of Lazarus, “Jesus wept.”. May you all rest in the loving arms of the One who knows the depth of pain you are in and is also able to provide all that you need at this time. Thinking of you and praying for you. Cindy, Cal, Sara, and Willis
I also wanted to say what a blessing it is to read the postings of the people on the website that Bro had been a guild mate. It must be a great comfort to you as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am one of Clifford's (Thynian) virtual friends and am very saddened by his passing. I spent many late hours visiting and joking with him. He was one of the best people I've ever met.

Clifford played an online game called Everquest and was a member of my guild the Mystical Light Fighters. He was one of the the most loved of all my fellow guild mates. He was very knowledgeable of the game and was seen helping folks out all the time :D We were saddened that he had to quit the game and are even more saddened by his passing :( He will be missed .
