Dearest Susana,

It is with profound sorrow and disbelief that I write you these words.

Clarence and you have always been the epitome of the most "gracious couple". I have admired you as a beautiful spiritual couple for many years. Your example of a "together" marriage is what I have always wanted for myself. I will always remember Clarence as such a warm, sweet, gentle soft spoken brother. You were so much alike and the presense of you two could always light up a room.

Losing a loved one in death is one of the most awful things in life we can/will unfortunately have to experience. I am so sorry that Bro. Delgado's death came so soon and so sudden in his life. I think of him in sadness, but also with many fond memories. I pray Susana, that Jehovah will be with you in the following days,weeks, months and years to come. I keep you in my heart and mind constantly and know that Jehovah will sustain you and comfort you in the days ahead.

How wonderful that your years spent together as husband and wife were filled with love and joyous days. Your memories will be yours to keep forever in your heart, and how glorious it will be to someday soon be able to cry out tears of joy in welcoming back our dear brother!! The anticipation is well worth waiting for!!

Know that our love is with you and that your pain is in our hearts!

Dear Susana and Family, There has simply been no words to describe Clarence and his kind and warm way when he was alive. His adoration and love for you Susana spoke volumes across a kingdom hall with just one look. And how much he enjoyed spending time with his best friend, you.

Over the years, Clarence and I would swap, share and give one another cassette tapes of encouragement, motivation and we both pursued the more cheerful outlook. As with all "cheerful" people, along came self-doubt and depression. But his love of life and desire to be as positive and upbeat and motivated as possible is what I remember most about my dear brother.

There simply are no words now that can describe the spark of joy, friendship and compassion Clarence was. They say love lasts forever and as long as your heart beats Susana, you will hold that love and it will sustain you. But for those who loved Clarence as merely a companion - we are the richer for it. Our sliver of Clarence was simply wonderful. You had the whole "pie" as it were and we feel for you especially.

Life seems vain at times, almost an exercise in vanity and lacking in real purpose. But then there is love that makes it all worth it; the pain, the sorrow, the deep joy, the peace and fire.

You two were all these things and so much more. May this love keep your heart and life well-grounded in the place where you will always be with him - in love.

Your brother - Paris

Words cannot even begin to express the sadness that I feel in my heart at the loss of Brother Delgado. He truly was one of the most kindest, caring, humble, giving and loving human beings that I have ever had the pleasure to know.

Clarence always had a cheery smile for you and a "Hi ya Sis". When he asked you "How are you?" He really wanted to know and listened to what you were saying.

The love Clarence & Susanna had for each other was always a heart warming example of what a good marriage was like.

Clarence will always be missed by everyone who ever knew him. To Susanna and his family... know that everyone loves you and will be praying that Jehovah will give you the needed strength to endure this time of sadness.

With Love,

Eve Saizan
