Mary & Family,
My God hold you in His loving arms and provide you with the love He is capable of giving one in this difficult time in their life. Clyde was a friend to us and to our parents. We will miss him on our visits to Shelby.

Heaven truly will be sweeter, Clyde was such a kind man, he never failed to show love to my children and I. He taught my husband At age 14 to lay his first brick. Never once was there anything needed that he didn't advise us about or help with. I remember the first time I met Clyde he was in process of kidnapping my 3 year old to take home to Ms. Mary for ice cream and candy. He truly will be missed. Love and prayers for family.
Sincerely,
Sheila Cobb
