May God continue to keep you and yours in His loving arms, giving you the peace only He can provide. I worked in the Municipal Court when Clarence was an Officer at Macon PD. He was always a joy to encounter. May your sweet memories bring a measure of comfort during these most difficult of times. Rest knowing once again you will join him in a joyful reunion. Until then I will keep you all in my prayers.
