Dear June and Family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. I always heard such nice things and was not surprised to find they were true when I met Cliff. Take good care and believe that he is now at peace.

Cliff was my instructor at United not once, but twice, and made his distinction as a trainor by going above and beyond. He not only taught the material, but had the gift of making it interesting, and sharing little known facts that he had researched. He was an honest, upright man, and he will be missed.

Grandpa-
You were such a great person and I know that you didn't deserve to leave just yet but you are in a greater place. We all loved you and you always made our entire family laugh. I hope that you meet my other grandparents they will show you around. I wish we spent more time together but we will meet again someday. I love you

Daddy:
From the minute that I met you I instantly fell in love with you. I am going to miss your funny jokes, your kindness, your sweet face, and your gentleness. I considered myself a princess to marry your son and to have you as a father in law. I will never forget you and you will always be on my mind and in my heart. Thank you for walking me down the aisle Daddy and even then you had to play around with my veil. Daddy, you and Mom made me feel so special as my adopted parents. I know you have done a a lot for us and I will never ever forget it. Daddy, you broke my heart leaving us but I know your in a better place. Look for my mother and father. I'm sure they want to meet you. I love you Daddy, Linda

I worked down the hall from Cliff for many years at United. I loved our chats, his smiling face and his joyful greeting. He made work more pleasant. The world is a sadder place without him. You and your family are in my prayers.

Gramps,
I just wanted to let you know that you meant the world to me. It is so hard for me that you are no longer with us but I know you are at peace and you will ALWAYS be with me. You were my biggest fan and you believed I could do anything I set my mind too. You will always be my gramps.
I love you so much
Love,
Carli
