My love and condolences to the Matthews family. I have several fun memories of Mr. Clifton as a child growing up on Kelso St. I say to the family please hold on to God's grace, peace and mercy to see you through these times. Remember
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
(Isaiah 41:10)

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
