Clint was a very devoted husband and father. He will be missed by family and friends. My heartfelt sympathy to my sister, Cecelia in the passing of Clint. Cecelia was very dedicated to Clint. During his period of illness, She unselfishly ministered to him and employed the best medical care possible. The procedure was not successful as we all prayed for, however, he was relieved of his suffering by the Lord when he called him home.
