Resolution to the Family of
Clarence Eugene Pointer, Sr.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Psalm 116:15

Dear Niva and family,
We, the officers, and members of the Roosevelt High School Class of 1967 Alumni Association desire to place on record, that we are deeply saddened to hear about the homegoing of your brother Clarence. Although we may not understand why death comes in life, we are always in the Lord´s care and in His hands. We are praying that you find comfort in knowing that we share your grief.

WHEREAS, the loss of a loved one, is an unimaginable pain, with time we hope the family is comforted by memories of Clarence´s love and warmth. When the breeze blows gently, remember Clarence´s gentleness, when the sun shines brightly, remember Clarence´s spirit, when the river bubbles slowly, remember Clarence´s kindness. Take comfort in the memories that surround you. Sending you our deepest sympathy and condolences, thoughts, and prayers at this saddening time.

WHEREAS, we pray that the Good Shepherd would comfort and lead you as you walk through this dark valley. May His goodness and presence be known to you in each moment of the day, no matter how difficult or challenging as you mourn. May Clarence´s memory give you comfort as you grieve.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that our prayers are with his wife Angela, loving children, grandchildren, siblings, extended family as well as the family of faith to encourage you in the coming weeks and months that "earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." We commend the soul of Clarence to the Panther Den Eternal.
