The first year is hard. It gets a little better after that. I cannot believe it has been 3 1/2 years since I lost Bill.

Verna and Family, My deepest sympathy. I absolutely love this picture of Cliff totally how I remember him. His band played at my wedding reception back in 1980. Memories I will never forget plus I worked with him at Kmart DC for many years! Such a great guy he will never be forgotten. Hugs
