I wish to express my condolences at this time to our cousin Linda and family. Clinton was such a joy to have and talk to. His stories of his life and heart will live on through the voices of his family and friends. He will be missed by all close to him and afar. You have been through so much in the last years, now your dad will be at peace with your mom Doris. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
