Matt, Craig, & Liz,
I just found out about your loss and am very sorry. You don't know me but I worked for Clem in 1973 after my High School Graduation. What a wonderful man; and he always spoke so highly of Shiela and your whole family every time I saw him when I'd visit Wahoo. I am very saddened by their sudden departure from our earth; I know they go with God. Take care.

McGill Family,
You are in my prayers during this time of loss. Clem was very special. I worked with Clem and Dr. Gary Edgar when I was in my late teens (late 70's). His mentoring, leadership, and sincerity shaped my whole life. May you know what a special blessing he was to many throughout the years. My prayers are with you.

Matt, Craig, and Liz,
Your parents were two of the most kind people. They both had a way of making you feel so special and important, whether it with their kind words or their soft smile. They lived, they laughed, and they loved.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Our deepest sympathy to you. I knew your father when he was young and we had the most memorable ball games in the yard of the McGill farm. I will always remember Clem's smile and how much respect he had for others. Clem is a part of my legacy and memory I will always cherish.

We are truly sorry for the McGill family's loss. As old friends of Kathy Howard, we know how much the family meant to each other. We also remember the strength, faith, and love that carried them through the loss of Andrew.
May the McGill family all find peace at this terrible time...

Craig and McGill Family,
There are no appropriate words that I can say to express my sympathy and sadness for you and your family. Your mom and dad were two of the nicest people I've ever met and I will always smile when I remember them. Know that I'm always here for you to help you and your family through this extremely difficult time.

We are so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Dr. and Mrs. McGill. We are the family of Cady Reynolds, 16 year old who recently was killed in a traffic accident. We know the pain of sudden loss and pray that the Lord will give you the strength to deal with your loss as he has for our family. God Bless the whole family and may his perpetual light shine upon our Cady and your Clem and Sheila.

To the family of the McGills. You don't know me...but this situation touched my family in an all too familiar way. My father was killed in an accident, on a two lane highway and on a bridge, in November. My mother is still living, although fighting pancreatic cancer. And in a twist of irony, their anniversay also would have been June 17...56 years. My heart breaks for you and I will pray for all of you as I know your pain.

Dr. McGill helped a very scared little boy - 27 years ago. That very little boy had fallen and broke a front tooth, which had to be pulled. 2 years later Dr. McGill had to do another emergency tooth repair for the same little boy. The little boy's name? - the first on this guest book - Mark Lawver. Dr. McGill was such a big man, and so very gentle. God must have needed Clem's voice in a 'heavenly choir.'

Our sympathy to all of the McGill family, we came to know Clem and Sheila through our daughter and son-in-law traci and Gregg Chapek who live neighbors to Clem. When we would visit our daughter I tried to make it a point to walk across the road to visit with Clem, the Chapeks and Pontons will miss them greatly..

Sheila & Clem were always so supportive of me - from when I played ball with Liz to after I quit playing, when I got married, and when I was expecting our first child. Never have I met a more godly couple.
I will never forget when I was talking to Clem & telling him that my husband, Anthony, and I had moved our wedding up because we felt called by God to do so. He told me to keep my eyes there and I'd be just fine.

To the McGill family: I extend to you my deepest sympathy.
I was a patient of Dr McGill's when I lived in Wahoo 15 or 20 yrs ago, and I always looked forward to my dental appointments, because of his kind and cheerful manner. I never saw him without a smile on his lips. I am so very sorry for your loss. God bless you and strengthen you during this sad and diffcult time.
Sincerely,
Watona King

you won't know us - we were in dental school with clem and shiela - we kept in contact through these years - and most recently your mom and dad were so very helpful to us when we lost our son suddenly in june of 2005 - they knew the things to say because they had walked on that same path. we are broken hearted for your family - our close knit dental family - and honestly the world - we all lost - we wrap our arms around you and bow our heads. richard and winnie johnson -

My thoughts and prayers go with the entire McGill family during this traggic loss. Clem was a very special and empathetic person and we shared many special memories during our days at WHS. I know that he will be sorely missed by his family and friends and he definitely left his mark in the community around him. May God help everyone find peace and love in the days ahead.

I have only know Dr. McGill for 5 years, but in that short time he showed me what a very special person he was. He cared about everybody, regardless of how long he knew you. We all have lost a very dear friend. God Bless You, Dr. McGill. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
