"Never let the abundance of God's gifts cause you to forget the Giver'. My earliest memories of Clyde are ones of a godly family man who shared not only his wealth but his testimony. He loved and he was loved. We shall see him again. Bless you ALL. I love you. Little TG/Cynthia/Jazmyn(2/yo)

Paulette, Brother and the Thrower Family from the days at Gilmerton Star ame Zion your father saw the good times and the bad times but he never lost Faith in God now he is with the Lord where we wil all see him again one day. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God be with you doing this time of sadness.
