Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Clarence, it seems that he was a very wonderful husband, father, son, uncle nephew and cousin, just hold onto the precious memories and onto God.s unchanging hands, do what is pleasing to him, and when your time is up here on this earth, he will have a place prepared for you where you will spend the rest of your life with him and your love ones. he makes no mistakes. I love you and will keep the family in prayer. cousin Babysis

Dear Clarence,

Yours was the gentle face that reflected the same smile that always caused everyone to laugh and to stop for a minute and be happy.
I remember your smile even before I remember your wonderful words. The silence before talking. We all knew that something great was coming. You were smart, funny, caring and loving,Everyone looked up to you for you were the bearer of so much natural goodness.

We thank God for blessings that you brought to this earth. You will always be with us until we meet again.
Your job was well done. Rest in peace.
Kathleen Mosley and Family

Cousin Clarence,

You will surely be missed. We love you but God loves you best. Your job here on Gods green earth has been completed. Now rest.

Love, Victoria (aka Mama)

P.S. The family reunion meeting will not be same without you, lol.

August 24, 2012

I remember you when you were first born, so small and tiny. They wouldn't even let you out of the hospital until you gained 5 lbs. :o) Then, I remember how as a boy you worked any odd jobs to help out the family. I remember your wedding, how you hugged me so tightly. Yes, I remember Clarence, Jr. with the big, broad smile and the best hugs in the world. God Bless the memories you've left everyone. I believe you have always been with God, now you leave a great and wonderful legacy. We ALL love you BIG GUY!

I love you "Black" you were truly a precious gem placed in my life and I am blessed to have known you. I am going to miss you so much but I know that God needed you more than we did. Wow so much to say I could write to you all day so instead I found this poem that expresses how I will live the rest of my days.
“MEMORIES IN MY POCKET”
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you & I that are the most precious.
Ps. Thanks for the Lady Bug!!!
