Times like these i miss you the most. I just know you would be the one here right now giving the right advise. I cant say enough about how much i miss you, we all miss you..
I wish you where around to see Dominic. You would have adored him and i know it, you where always so great to us when we where that little. Sadly I remember little but enough to know how much you loved and spoiled us. And growing up we miss you more and more as the time goes by. Love you uncle Cliff, cant wait till the day we reunite. <3 <3 <3

Cliffy,

I have also been thinking about you non stop. I had a dream about a month ago, that you were 2 again and I was with you as a little girl. You were always such a sweet little cousin. Thinking of that little smile makes me happy...

I wish I would have reached out to you more when you emailed me way back when. But, though I cannot now, I want you to know I miss you too and I'm so sorry I didn't try harder for you. I know you needed me too.

I will forever love you and remember you.

Cliffy,

If you're looking down from heaven right now, I want you to know I am carrying on your spirit with me. Your Dad told me you were called yourself "Meangene" and he told Jimmy and I to carry that name on. I also wanted to make sure I never forgot you and so...you are with me day in day out.

I've been making sure also to not make the same mistake twice and I'm working hard to put my family first this time - keeping in touch with the other Mongene's and calling your family because I know they are missing you just as much as I am.

I just want to say, I am thinking about you - my rapping, hip hop loving cuz.

Cliffy,
Hi, it's Uncle Jim. Of course you know me but not nearly as good as you should have and that is my regret and my loss. Among so many things I too often missed a chance to enjoy your kind face, your warm personality and your never-ending comedy routine. However, I can recall us doing the family camping thing and you always said; “hey Uncle Jim, are you bringing the tapper?” I am thinking that since you were only 8 or so then-you meant “the camper-hmmmmm!
Cliffy, we all get so wrapped up in this earthly life and our long to-do lists that most of us stand guilty of blindly missing out on the most valuable relationships that are right under our noses. And, since I do believe in a life after this one-you might better be making plans that I will walk with you again and catch up on the time we missed [this is probably not a good time to ask if you we can hunt and fish in heaven-huh?]. We’ll save that one for on down the road.
Cliffy I guess you and I and all the rest of us were always planning on reaching 90 years old [or even more]. Sometimes we all get caught up in thinking we are simply indestructible! I know that losing you so early on in your life adventure has shocked us to the core [and probably will forever]. That is the best way I can define our love for you and the hole your passing has left in our lives.
Cliffy, may you rest in peace and wait in patience for us to see your beloved face once again [and of course please visit us in our dreams just as often as you can].

Goodbye makes the journey hard as hell....

Love,
Uncle Jim

P.S. in the event I don't show up -it means I went to the "other place" [which is a very real possibility]

Hey Cliff,
What can I say? Cliff and I were from opposite ends of the spectrum, but we managed to meet in the middle and accept each other for we are. That is the true meaning of a friend. Cliff was the epitome of what a great friend is suppose to be. Due to my current situation, and being gone for the past seven years; we did lose touch. But, that will never change the fact that I still considered Cliff to be one of my best friend and longer a younger brother. I will miss you greatly and now we can't even have that beer together when I get out. I will never forget you, my friend.

Cliff was my best friend since 5th
grade. We grew up together and
remained best friends thru everything. Now him and our other
best friend Nikolai are together and
I guess that makes even death as
something not to fear, knowing we will all be reunited one day. It
just sucks to have to wait without
him. I have so many memories to keep me occupied until then, Your best friend Dan.

God bless you - Polly & Al Ross (Dutch and Mary's daughter and son-in-law)

Let's Not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
