Cliff L. Maxwell

Was so sorry to see that Cliff had passed, was out of touch for many years. I stood up to his wedding with Debbie and always enjoyed communicating with him and parents when we would visit. God Bless your soul Cuz till we meet again.

I can't believe it will be 5yrs since I lost you. I still think of you everyday and miss you so much. I wish I could just talk to you one last time and feel your arms around me once again. I will always love you.

I have been going through everything trying to get the new house in order and I look at pictures of you & us and you & the grandkids and I feel so sad and miss you so much. I hope I never loose the message on the answering machine because it has your laugh on it at the end. Gannon knows who his grandpa is; he points in the pictures and says "grandpa".

It has been 15 months since we lost our great friend, Cliff. not a day does not go by that we don't think of him. We pray that Mary can maintain her life. We are glad to see that she is beginning to get on with her life. Please know Mary, that we want the very best for you. You are such a dear friend, and we hope and pray that every day gets a bit easier for you to get through. Stay strong, hang on to all the wonderful memories that Cliff left you and each day it will get a bit better...

It has been almost 15 months and I still miss Cliff everyday. I think of little funny things he used to say to me or names he called me like "puddin' cakes" and how he always lovingly called the grandkids "ruggies". I feel sad that Gannon will never really know his grandpa. He was so excited when he was born, he couldn't wait to show me on the internet and he was so proud that he had the info from the web site before me. I have such wonderful memories of our life together.

For my nephews, Chris and Brian, who's sorrow is so evident, that to look at them, simply breaks my heart. The tragic and sudden loss of our loved one, has been a terrible burden to all who knew and loved Cliff, but so much more to them. The loss of a parent...we never get over that, we just learn to live with it. In an effort to console you, I want to share what I realized just recently. "We are the lucky ones." We who share a faith that we also shall rise again, and join our fathers in...

It's hard to understand why some things happen....only God knows the reason.

I see your grief in your words.

Remember that Cliff is still here...in your children, how your home is decorated, in your heart, in many of your actions and your deeds.

There is a better place out there for us, after this life, where we finally experience the true glory of life. No more pain, ...
