Not sure what to say?

Carolyn& Shelia, I am just seeing your dad’s obituary. I pray for peace and comfort during this Holiday Season.
Your father was an upstanding Christian man and I am honored to have known him. My father considered him one of his best friends!

My grandfather and Glyn Franks were always best of friends. Mr. Clifton was a great man that will be missed. I bet they are up in Heaven having a good old time fishing and catching up and My grandmother Janette Franks and Ms. Katherine are tickled to see him walk through those pearly gates. I’m so sorry to all of his family and friends and I wish I could pay my respects. Praying for the Lord to be with you all and comfort you. They didn’t come better than Mr. Clifton.

I was honored to care for Mr. Clifton for many years at Countrywood Manor. My mother Billie Cantwell was friends and neighbors of Mrs. Katherine and Mr. Clifton. He will be missed for sure. He is with his wife and that makes me smile...
