One of many things I will always cherish about Uncle Clarence (as my dad Bill Gray called him) is he always called me his Cinderella. I know he and my dad are going to have a terrific time together up in Heaven as they reunite their friendship with the lord. May God Bless you Sherrie and all of Clarence's family members.
Love always
