We are so saddened to hear of Clide's passing. All your family were so special to us and we often reminisce about staying down at the cabin and have pictures of Hope following Fran all around the pond. We love you all and are thankful that Rob got to talk to Clide a couple of times within the last year. We know he fought a valiant struggle and can now not only rest in the arms of God but what a reunion he must be having with his family and friends at his homegoing. We know he will be dearly missed but we pray for strength for you all in the coming days. We love and miss you all.
