To the Family, I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of Cousin Clemmie...I am a first cousin of James Allen and was invited to a Family Reunion in 2012. I had to attend my graduation ceremony in Chicago in July of 2013 and was very nervous about coming to Chicago. I contacted Clemmie from the family list and he offered to assist me during my short stay there. Even though my connection with him was brief; I will always cherish fond memories of a wonderful, kind and family oriented individual. He met me at the train station and dropped me off at my hotel. The next day he attended my graduation ceremony; later we took a bus to East Chicago to meet some other cousins. May the comfort of our father; God, embrace you all as you deal with this difficult time, today, tomorrow and days ahead. Cousin Clemmie, know you were appreciated and I thank you from every corner of my heart for the memories of that weekend(Riding the bus to East Chicago in my graduation gear...taking pics by Micheal Jackson's house) May you rest in the sweetest of heavenly peace.
