Miss Fedna and Girls,
Even though I came to the funeral home on Tuesday night, there were so many people waiting to just give you all a hug. I knew you were all exhausted but you greeted each and every person with grace and dignity. Something Bro. Clyde would appreciate. I loved him and I love you all like you were my family. Keeping you all close in my heart.

Dear Mrs. Flo, Mary Edna, Diane and Deborah: Bro. Clyde was an important part of my life and a wonderful man. He loved God, his family, his friends and all those he came in contact and he made a lasting impression on all of us. I will cherish my memories of him from when he drove the school bus to his preaching. He always had a smile and a happy heart. The world is a better place for him being part of it. I remember being at a State football playoff game and seeing his immense enjoyment watching Darren play. I loved him and I love each of you. May God bless you and keep you strong. To Bro. Clyde, Roll Tide and I'll see you in heaven.

God has reached down and taken one of his finest follower of him and in doing so he has left us sad and broken hearted,but I can just see that smile on Bro.Vinson face right now as he would ask what we are greiving for because he's finally made it home and he's finding out all he's been wondering about all these years. Sister Vinson as broken hearted as I know you are I also know your faith in the Lord and you will let him see you through this sad time. He was loved I believe by every person that ever had the previlige to meet Bro. Clyde Vinson and I'm so proud to have been one of them and for all the wonderful sermons I heard him preach.My heart aches for you Sister Vinson and my prayers will be with you and I love you in God's loving Grace.

Uncle Clyde, The highlight of my year was returning home each Spring to turkey hunt and to visit with you and Aunt Fedna. I could always count on you to "discretely" remind me of my sleeping incident. You and your sharp mind! Thanks. Love, Danny & Denise

Dear Vinson Family,

I want you to know that I am praying for you during this difficult time. Mr. Vinson made an impact on my life and to everyone he encountered. I enjoyed the many times I just sat and listened to his amazing stories. He also shared with me many insights about the Bible. May God comfort you and give you the peace that only He can give during this time. My prayers are with you.

Blessings,
