I am so sad not to be able to be with all of you during this time. Uncle Clifford was a precious man, and I have so many good memories of growing up with him and Aunt Ruby and all the family. He was always gentle, kind, funny and most of all, the most generous person to everyone. We all know where he is today. I hope he and Larry are having a great time!! Love to all of you, Gayla Ballard Purvis
