To my New Orleans Sisters and thier familes. The loss of our father, Clarence, will be sorely missed. He was an all around guy. He was everybody's father, confidant, and friend. He never bit his tongue and would help rear anyone's child. God blessed us with his 88 years of life and we are thankful for them. May we all try to be as loving, fun filled, caring and generous as he was with himself and his family. Brother, Oliver, and Father summed it up best at the funeral mass. May Clarence rest in peace and may peace be with his girls and their families.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal! God will hold you in the palm of his hand. Hold on to God's unchanging hand.
Remember the great memories of your dad and forever cherish them. I remember the times when he was around and helped me smile.
