My family lived in Ozark all their lives. My dad knew Mr. Powell and his family. He had a great deal of respect for him and his family. I live in Arlington now. God bless this family.

I will always remember Cliff as a follower of Jesus, trusted friend and church leader...he was always an encouragment and a voice of peace. I thank God for the years of knowing Cliff and his family. My prayers and love are with you all in this most difficult time.
