Thank you all for your kind words. I did not know this website existed, but was shocked to find such comforting messages when I googled Papa's name! I will make sure to print these and make sure Dell Baby gets them! His services were beautiful and a real tribute to the wonderful life he lived!

Dearest Dell and family,
My brother Joe just called me to let me know about Clarence's passing. I'm sending my love and prayers to you and your family on this day. I will never forget when you all came to see me in Lebanon and we all had such a nice time together. Love always, Evelyn Fagan Mash and Terry Mash Jackson

Dearest Dell & Family,
I just found out about Clarence's home going! Al & I were gone to Thailand for over a month and I did not know he was sick. We send our love and prayers. Even though Clarence was the oldest of ALL the 1st cousins and I am the youngest - we still held a special bond. I'm so thankful for his expression of "lived out Faith in Christ!" We are making a special donation to www.CompassionateHopeFoundation.com
in His Memory! Blessings & Prayers
Al & Susan (Fagan) Henson
